TYSON FOODS, INC.
Tyson Foods, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. Its predecessor business was founded in Springdale, Arkansas, in 1935 and originally incorporated in Arkansas in 1947, before Tyson Foods, Inc. was reincorporated in Delaware under a certificate filed on 31 January 1986. The company is a reporting issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (CIK 0000100493), and its Class A common stock has traded continuously on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TSN, consistent with active corporate status. Its principal offices are at 2200 West Don Tyson Parkway, Springdale, Arkansas 72762-6999, as stated in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Tyson Foods, Inc. is a multi-protein food producer and processor that reports through five segments: Beef, Pork, Chicken, Prepared Foods and International. It raises and processes chicken on a vertically integrated basis, including through its poultry-genetics subsidiary Cobb-Vantress, and processes cattle and hogs into fresh and further-processed meat products. Its Prepared Foods segment manufactures frozen and refrigerated retail and foodservice items under brands including Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright and State Fair, alongside products sold under the Tyson brand itself. Products reach grocery retailers, foodservice operators, international customers and military commissaries in approximately 140 countries and regions, and the company also operates production facilities and joint ventures in Thailand, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and parts of Latin America.
For fiscal year 2025, which ended 27 September 2025, Tyson Foods, Inc. reported consolidated net sales of $54.4 billion, an increase of 2.1% over fiscal 2024, and net income attributable to Tyson Foods, Inc. of $474 million; that result included a $738 million legal contingency accrual and a $343 million non-deductible goodwill impairment recorded within the Beef segment.

Shareholders

Zavia’s registry data for Tyson Foods, Inc. lists five disclosed shareholders (of ten on record) as of 4 September 2026, all of them index funds or asset managers rather than company insiders: Davis Selected Advisers (approximately 5.5%), Davis New York Venture Fund (approximately 2.0%), the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (approximately 2.0%), the State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (approximately 1.6%) and the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (approximately 1.5%). These figures reflect fund positions in the company’s publicly traded Class A common stock; no shareholder shown individually exceeds 6% of that class.
Tyson Foods, Inc. has a dual-class capital structure: Class A common stock, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: TSN) with one vote per share, and Class B common stock, which is not publicly traded and carries ten votes per share. According to a Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC in February 2026 and the company’s annual proxy statement, Tyson Limited Partnership (“TLP”), a family limited partnership associated with descendants of company founder John W. Tyson, holds approximately 99.99% of outstanding Class B common stock and about 0.96% of Class A common stock, giving TLP control of approximately 71% of the combined voting power of Tyson Foods, Inc. This voting control is materially different from the institutional Class A holdings shown in the registry data above, which does not include Class B stock.
No single ultimate beneficial owner can be reliably identified for the TLP stake. Per TLP’s own SEC filings, its general partner interests are divided among the Tyson Family GP Trust (44.445%), the Donald J. Tyson Revocable Trust (44.44%) and the Barbara Tyson GP Revocable Trust (11.115%), whose beneficiaries are various descendants of the company’s founder, and the partnership currently has no managing general partner, with management rights exercisable only by a majority of general-partner interests that no single trust holds. Individual family members separately disclose smaller direct holdings of Class A stock in SEC beneficial-ownership filings — for example, Chairman John H. Tyson reported holding approximately 1.35% of Class A common stock as of 13 February 2026 — but these direct holdings do not by themselves constitute majority beneficial ownership.
Shareholder and beneficial-ownership disclosure for Tyson Foods, Inc. is Full: as a U.S. exchange-listed issuer it is subject to SEC beneficial-ownership reporting (Schedules 13D/13G) and proxy disclosure rules, though the registry table above reflects only a subset of institutional Class A holders and does not include the Class B/TLP control structure described here.

The group also includes The Hillshire Brands Company (Illinois), acquired in 2014; AdvancePierre Foods Holdings, Inc. (Ohio), acquired in 2017; and Keystone Foods LLC (Pennsylvania), acquired in 2018, each of which retained further operating subsidiaries after acquisition. Internationally, Tyson Foods, Inc.’s Form 10-K describes subsidiary and joint-venture operations in Thailand, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and parts of Latin America. Ownership percentages for individual subsidiaries are not separately published in these filings, so this profile does not state a percentage for them.
