> Analysts at Stephens and BMO Capital Markets say chicken processors such as Tyson Foods have more pricing power. Chicken production rose only 0.6%, below the 2% to 3% expected, and chicken cutout margins rose 18% from February to March. Analysts attribute the tighter supply to lighter bird weights and plant fires.
