Description: PPC Pilgrims Pride January 03, 2026
Pilgrim’s Pride Corp (NASDAQ:PPC) is a vertically integrated producer and processor of chicken and pork, supplying fresh, frozen, and value-added meats to retailers, foodservice operators, and distributors across the United States, Europe, and Mexico. Its portfolio spans whole and cut-up chicken, marinated and non-marinated parts, primary pork cuts, lamb, and a growing line of plant-based and ready-to-eat meals.
The company markets its products under a suite of brands-including Pilgrim’s, Just BARE, Gold’n Pump, Gold Kist, County Pride, and Moy Park-and serves a diverse customer base that ranges from chain restaurants and broad-line distributors to grocery chains and wholesale clubs.
Key operational metrics (2023) show approximately 13 million chickens processed weekly, total revenue of roughly $6.2 billion, and an adjusted EBITDA margin near 8%. Feed-cost volatility and USDA-reported pork supply constraints are primary economic drivers, while long-term demand growth for protein (especially in emerging markets) underpins sector outlook.
As a subsidiary of JBS S.A., Pilgrim’s Pride benefits from integrated supply-chain efficiencies but also inherits exposure to global meat-price cycles and regulatory scrutiny.
