Description: PPC Pilgrims Pride October 31, 2025

Pilgrims Pride Corp (NASDAQ:PPC) is a vertically integrated producer and processor of chicken, pork, and related protein products, supplying fresh, frozen, and value-added items to retailers, foodservice operators, and distributors across the United States, Europe, and Mexico. Its portfolio spans whole and cut-up poultry, marinated and non-marinated parts, primary pork cuts, lamb, plant-based proteins, and ready-to-eat meals, marketed under brands such as Pilgrims, Just BARE, Gold Kist, and Moy Park.

In fiscal 2023 the company generated approximately $9.5 billion in revenue and processed roughly 12.5 billion pounds of chicken, representing about 13 % of U.S. broiler production. EBITDA margin hovered near 8 %, while feed costs-driven by corn and soybean prices-typically consume 40-45 % of total operating expenses, making grain price volatility a material risk factor.

Key sector drivers include sustained growth in protein consumption (U.S. per-capita chicken intake has risen ~2 % YoY), tightening labor markets that pressure processing costs, and trade dynamics that affect export volumes to Mexico and Europe. Additionally, inflationary pressure on feed inputs and regulatory scrutiny of animal welfare standards can materially impact margins.
