Pilgrim's Pride reported third quarter 2026 results with net sales of $4.7 billion, down 2.2% from a year earlier, and GAAP EPS of $0.49 versus $1.44. The company said lower U.S. commodity cutout values and higher supply pressured chicken pricing, while Adjusted EBITDA fell 50% to $316.3 million, which matters to shareholders because core profitability declined sharply.
Net income was $116.3 million versus $343.1 million in the same quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was $316.3 million, a 6.8% margin, versus $633.1 million and 13.3% a year earlier.
Net leverage ratio was 1.76x Adjusted EBITDA, below the company's target range of 2x to 3x.
