Pilgrim's Pride Corp (PPC) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the company has shown revenue growth, its declining net income, EPS, and gross margin, coupled with insider selling and lack of strong trading signals, suggest caution. The technical indicators and options data do not indicate a compelling entry point. Holding or waiting for a better opportunity is recommended.
The MACD is negative and expanding, indicating bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 26.164, and moving averages are converging, showing no clear trend. The stock is trading below the pivot level (42.706), with key support at 40.891 and resistance at 44.52. Overall, the technical indicators suggest a bearish or neutral trend.
Revenue increased by 3.33% YoY in Q4 2025, surpassing market expectations. Stable demand in the broiler chicken market could support future growth.
Gross margin decreased by 24.98% YoY. Insider selling has increased significantly (1018.48% in the last month). Analysts' price targets are mixed, with Barclays lowering its target to $45.
In Q4 2025, revenue increased to $4.52 billion (+3.33% YoY), but net income dropped to $87.99 million (-62.69% YoY). EPS fell to $0.37 (-62.63% YoY), and gross margin declined to 9.49% (-24.98% YoY).
Grupo Santander upgraded PPC to Outperform with a $56 price target, while Barclays lowered its price target to $45 from $49, maintaining an Equal Weight rating. Analyst sentiment is mixed, with no clear consensus.
