Premium meat products company Hormel Foods CorporationHRL is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 (ended October, 2017) results on Nov 21, before the market opens. Conversely, we caution against stocks with a Zacks Ranks #4 or 5 (Sell rated) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is witnessing negative estimate revisions. Nevertheless, Hormel Foods fears that continued inflation in the prices of major inputs such as pork and beef trim or challenges in the Jennie-O Turkey Store business might dent its bottom-line performance.
