About Pilgrim's Pride
Pilgrim's Pride is the second-largest poultry producer in the US (59% of 2024 sales), the UK (29% including other European sales), and Mexico (12%). Its UK and European arm also includes pork operations from the 2019 acquisition of Tulip. Pilgrim's sells to chain restaurants, food processors, food distributors, and retail chains. Most of its US and Mexican sales come from fresh chicken, while prepared chicken and pork constitute most of its UK and European sales. JBS owns more than 80% of Pilgrim's Pride's outstanding shares, though it failed to acquire the remaining stake in 2021 after a special board committee deemed JBS's offer undervalued Pilgrim's Pride.

Analyst projections of the future price of Pilgrim's Pride stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Chicken demand remained firm across regions, with US fresh volumes rising in retail and foodservice. Chicken’s affordability supports a resilient demand base. (GlobeNewswire)
Prepared Foods is growing faster than the core commodity business: Just Bare retail sales rose more than 30% year on year, and the new Georgia facility is on schedule. A bigger branded, value-added mix could help diversify earnings. (GlobeNewswire)
US margins improved sequentially as plant upgrades were completed and live operations improved. Net leverage was 1.43 times adjusted EBITDA, with nearly $1.6 billion in cash and available credit to fund investment. (GlobeNewswire, The Motley Fool)
Supply growth outpaced demand and lower commodity chicken prices sharply squeezed earnings: second-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell 47.6% year on year, to $360 million. That shows how quickly strong volumes can fail to protect profits in a glut. (GlobeNewswire)
Broiler litigation remains a material financial burden: the company recorded $136 million of legal settlement expense in the quarter, mainly for settlements with parties in ongoing litigation. Further claims or settlements could continue to weigh on reported earnings and cash. (The Motley Fool)
Weak conditions outside the US add another source of pressure: European pork margins were hit by excess imports, while Mexico faced more chicken supply and competing protein imports. These pressures contributed to lower segment profitability. (GlobeNewswire)
