Should Tyson Foods Stock Holders Look At JM Smucker Instead?

Tyson Foods (TSN) and JM Smucker (SJM) both sell grocery brands that shoppers buy every week, from Hillshire Farm and Jimmy Dean to Uncrustables and Milk-Bone. Beyond those familiar labels, the two companies part ways. Tyson runs chicken, beef and pork businesses, while Smucker sells coffee and peanut butter. Over the past year, investors have favored Smucker, whose stock returned 28.0% against 6.2% for Tyson. So is Smucker's outlook improving while Tyson's slips.
