Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (ISIN US72147K1088) was set to release its third-quarter 2026 results after the U.S. market close on October 28, 2026. The company had scheduled an earnings call for October 29, while estimates pointed to USD 4.63 billion in revenue and USD 0.56 in earnings per share, according to Pilgrim's Pride and MarketBeat.
What does USD 4.63 billion mean?
The revenue estimate would represent a decline from USD 4.76 billion in the year-earlier quarter, while expected earnings per share of USD 0.56 would be below the prior-year USD 1.52, according to MarketBeat's October 28, 2026 earnings page. That comparison makes the release a test of whether poultry pricing, product mix and operating costs have stabilized.
Recent operating benchmark
Pilgrim's Pride's investor-relations page lists Q2 2026 net sales at USD 4.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA at USD 360.0 million. The same page identifies Pilgrim's as a protein producer serving retail and foodservice customers, with more than 62,000 employees and 75 food plants. The Q2 figures provide the latest reported benchmark before the third-quarter release.
Two dates shape the report
The company scheduled the third-quarter results for October 28, 2026, after the U.S. close. Management set the conference call for October 29, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EDT, according to the October 13, 2026 release. The timing means the first market reaction will come before management's scheduled review.
Valuation stays tied to execution
Pilgrim's Pride had a market capitalization of USD 6.5 billion as of October 27, 2026, while its 52-week range was USD 25.00 to USD 44.84. The finance quote for the Nasdaq listing showed the stock last at USD 27.09 on October 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EDT.
