What are Wall Street analysts saying about Pilgrim's Pride stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Pilgrim's Pride stock:
- 1. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "Although we had significantly lowered our 4Q18 estimates earlier in the week, EBIT missed our below-the-Street estimate by ~28% because of a challenging environment (oversupply) in the US and higher grain costs in Europe. US retail chicken demand has improved over the past month; however, we remain sceptical about its sustainability given the abundance of competing protein supplies. As such, we remain cautious on NT industry fundamentals. 4Q18 EBIT significantly missed our already below-consensus estimates. 4Q18 net sales came in at ~$18M (or 1%) below our estimates but were in line with consensus. Consolidated gross margin of 4.2% was 150bp below our estimate and 170bp below consensus, resulting in gross profit missing our estimate by ~27% and consensus by ~29%. This was partially offset by lower SG&A/sales, which came in 90bp below our estimate and 150bp below consensus." (2/17/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Pilgrim’s Pride’s shares have declined in the past six months, thanks to a dismal bottom-line trend. In fact, the third quarter of 2018 marked the company’s third straight bottom-line miss. Lower revenues, higher interest expenses and dismal margins weighed upon the bottom line in the said period. Further, the company witnessed lower revenues from U.S. operations during the quarter, owing to a tough pricing scenario in commodity chicken. Further, adverse market conditions weighed on revenues from Mexican operations. Apart from these, the company continues to witness high cost of sales. Nevertheless, Pilgrim's Pride’s European business has been expanding steadily, on the back of a strong business model, robust customer relationships and better synergy capture. Further, the company’s focus on key customers has been aiding portfolio refinement and creation of competitive advantages." (1/7/2019)
