Dean Foods’s ticker symbol DF has recently been trading near $31.86 a share.  The Dean Foods corporate headquarters in Dallas, TX predicts Packaged Foods and Meats profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $4.142B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.10, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Dean Foods moves less aggressively.
