JBS Proposal to Acquire Stake in Pilgrim's Pride Seen as Slightly Positive, UBS says

JBS' (JBS) proposal to acquire an 18% stake in Pilgrim's Pride (PPC) it does not already own is seen as slightly positive for the company given the potential to optimize its corporate structure, UBS Securities said in a note emailed Wednesday.According to the note, the acquisition comes at a challenging point in the US poultry cycle, which has pressured Pilgrim's Pride's stock performance, with shares at a two-year low.
