The Quality Score for PPC stands at 6.5 out of 10 as of October 17, 2026, which puts Pilgrim's Pride Corporation in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Pilgrim's Pride Corporation’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 71 Consumer Staples companies with a published score, that ranks at the 67th percentile, above the middle of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.8, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation is above that typical reading.
On profitability, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation scores 5.3, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.7 across 71 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 54th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Solvency scores 8.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 65 Consumer Staples companies is 6.9, so Pilgrim's Pride Corporation is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 81st percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
On growth, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation scores 8.1, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.0 across 67 Consumer Staples companies, which places it well above them, at the 92nd percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.
On efficiency, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation scores 7.3, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.7 across 68 Consumer Staples companies, which places it above them, at the 69th percentile. Efficiency at this level means the company needs comparatively little capital to produce what it sells.
Predictability scores 3.7 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 71 Consumer Staples companies is 6.1, so Pilgrim's Pride Corporation is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 14th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
The gap between Pilgrim's Pride Corporation’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 8.3 against predictability at 3.7, 4.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.
Closing the gap on predictability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Consumer Staples companies, 6.1, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation would score about 7.0 instead of 6.5. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Pilgrim's Pride Corporation has a reading on every pillar.
