Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation experienced a significant financial downturn in its second quarter, reporting a 96% plunge in net profit to $13.2 million. This decline was attributed to a more than 25% year-over-year drop in commodity chicken prices, despite steady consumer demand. In response to market conditions, the company noted ongoing investments in Georgia to diversify into value-added poultry products. Following these financial results, JBS, the Brazilian meatpacking company that already holds an 82% stake in Pilgrim’s Pride, submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire the remaining 18% of the company. The proposed ~~acquisition~~ all-stock transaction would ~~be executed via a stock swap, potentially making~~ value the minority stake at approximately $1.2 billion. Under the terms of the proposal, Pilgrim’s Pride ~~a wholly-owned subsidiary of~~ shareholders would receive 2.086 JBS Class A shares for each share held, based on closing prices from August 18. JBS stated the acquisition aims to simplify its corporate structure, reduce costs associated with maintaining a public subsidiary, and ~~resulting in~~ improve capital allocation. If successful, the deal would take Pilgrim’s Pride private and remove its ~~delisting~~ listing from the Nasdaq. The proposal requires approval from a special committee of independent directors at Pilgrim’s Pride and a majority of non-affiliated shareholders.
