Things To Note

Pilgrim's Pride is benefiting from solid Mexico business. Management is growing its Mexican business with the improvement of its branded product lines. The company also benefits from strength in its U.S. operations, courtesy of recovery in the foodservice business and continued strength in retail demand.

Apart from this, the company is gaining from focus on strategic growth initiatives, including a customer-centric approach and capacity expansions. Pilgrim's Pride has been steadily augmenting the marketing support of its brands as they expand and enter new regions. Additionally, it resorts to frequent supply chain improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce costs amid a rising inflationary environment. In this respect, it has been progressing well with developing automation technology for its processing plants. We believe that the persistence of these aspects bodes well for the quarter to be reported.
