Demand for premium cuts of beef declined in the fourth quarter compared to a year earlier, Tyson said. Sales volume at the company's chicken business, the largest after beef, increased 1.1% in the quarter, even as Tyson raised prices by an average 18.2%.

While he had reduced his firm's exposure to REITs due to rising interest rate fears, he's now thinking about increasing that exposure. REITs typically make up 5% to 10% of his firm's 10-year plus portfolio portfolio, with the exposure currently at the lower end of that range.

"They should be less sensitive overall to interest rates movements given that most investors are not in hotel names for the dividend," Brown said.
