of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 59 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

In the company’s own words
Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (referred to herein as "Pilgrim’s," "PPC," "the Company," "we," "us," "our," or similar terms) is primarily engaged in the production, processing, marketing and distribution of fresh, frozen and value-added chicken and pork products to retailers, distributors and foodservice operators. JBS S.A., through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, "JBS"), beneficially owns 82.28% of our outstanding common stock.
We market our balanced portfolio of fresh, prepared and value-added meat products to a diverse set of customers across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, Mexico and in over 120 other countries. Our sales efforts are largely targeted towards the foodservice industry, principally chain restaurants and food processors, such as Chick-fil-A and retail customers, including grocery store chains and wholesale clubs, such as Kroger , Costco , Publix and H-E-B in the U.S., chain restaurants such as McDonald’s and grocery store chains such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose in the U.K. and Europe, and grocery store chains such as Wal-Mart in Mexico.
As a vertically integrated company, we are able to control nearly every phase of the production process, which helps us manage food safety and quality, control margins and improve customer service. Our plants are strategically located to ensure that customers timely receive fresh products. With our global network of approximately 4,500 growers, 36 feed mills, 50 hatcheries, 39 processing plants, 28 prepared foods cook plants, 38 distribution centers, 10 protein conversion facilities and five pet food plants, we believe we are well-positioned to supply the growing demand for our products.
We operate on the basis of a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday falling on or before December 31. Any reference we make to a particular year (for example 2025) in the notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements applies to our fiscal year and not the calendar year. Fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were both 52-week fiscal years.
