Bright and early on this fine Wednesday morning, JPMorgan downgraded Tyson Foods (TSN) to Neutral from Overweight. The brokerage gave four reasons for the downgrade: valuation, recent rises in corn and hog prices, a looming supply increase from competitor Sanderson Farms (SAFM), and uncertainty from Pilgrim's Pride. All of these reasons are perfectly valid for the downgrade, but I want to focus on the valuation aspect of the downgrade. Technically, TSN faces overhead resistance in the $14 region, which is significant as the shares are currently ascending through the upper $12 region. The $14 level spurned the shares earlier this year, sending them into a steady decline back to support at the $11 region.
