As the second-largest producer, Pilgrim's should benefit from US health trends that favor chicken consumption in lieu of beef and pork.
Pilgrim's can grow its international sales more easily than other food companies, as raw meat doesn't need to adapt to local tastes like prepared foods do.
Pilgrim's Pride's international exposure, particularly its second-largest market in Mexico, should benefit from a growing middle class, as higher incomes historically drive greater meat consumption.
