We are dropping coverage of Pilgrim’s Pride. We provide broad coverage of more than 1,500 companies globally and periodically adjust our coverage according to investor interest and staffing.
Pilgrim’s Pride is the second-largest poultry producer in the U.S. (62% of 2021 sales), Europe (26%), and Mexico (12%). The 2019 purchase of Tulip, the U.K.'s largest hog producer, marks the firm's entrance into the pork market, which represents about 10% of sales. Pilgrim's sells its protein to chain restaurants, food processors, and retail chains. Channel exposure is split evenly between retail and food service, with the majority of food-service revenue coming from quick-service restaurants. JBS owns 80% of Pilgrim’s outstanding shares; it attempted to purchase the remaining 20% in late 2021, but the board rejected JBS' $26.50 offer as inadequate, and we concur.
No. PPC does not currently have a forward dividend yield.
Dividend yield allows investors, particularly those interested in dividend-paying stocks,
to compare the relationship between a stock’s price and how it rewards stockholders through dividends.
The formula for calculating dividend yield is to divide the annual dividend paid per share by the stock price.

PPC’s market cap is 5.56 Bil.
Market capitalization is calculated by taking a company’s share price and multiplying it by the total number of shares.
It’s often used to measure a company’s size. In the Morningstar Style Box, large-cap names account for the
largest 70% of U.S. stocks, mid-cap names account for the largest 70–90%, and small-cap names are the remaining 10% of companies.

PPC’s stock style is Small Value.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
