Analysis

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (PPC) currently trades at $27.45, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $82.35, implying the stock looks roughly 200.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation generated revenue of $18.6B at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue grew 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 25.8%. Net debt stands at $2.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $57.64 (bear case) to $111.64 (bull case); at $27.45, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 43% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at 200%, PPC screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
