Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC) will release its third-quarter 2026 financial results after U.S. markets close on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, the Greeley, Colorado-based poultry processor announced. A supplemental materials package will accompany the earnings release before trading begins the following morning.
Company executives will host a conference call and webcast on Thursday, Oct. 29, beginning at 7 a.m. MT (9 a.m. ET). The call is expected to include a management review of quarterly performance and an opportunity for analyst questions.
The announcement is a routine scheduling notice and contains no financial guidance or preliminary results. Investors and industry analysts will be watching the report closely given ongoing volatility in live-bird costs and feed-grain markets, factors that have weighed on processor margins across the broiler sector through much of 2026. Chicken supply-chain dynamics and protein commodity trends have remained a key focus for foodservice and retail buyers navigating contract negotiations heading into the fourth quarter.
As one of the largest broiler chicken producers in the United States, Pilgrim's Pride supplies major quick-service restaurant chains, grocery retailers, and foodservice distributors. Parent company JBS S.A. holds a controlling stake, giving PPC's quarterly results visibility into broader global protein market conditions. Prior-quarter results and analyst consensus estimates will provide the benchmark against which the Oct. 28 figures are measured.
