JBS S.A. Overview

Pro stress-test →

JBS S.A. is a global food giant that reported record net revenue of US$86 billion in 2025, driven primarily by Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, JBS Australia, and Seara.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

The company invests in related businesses such as leather, biodiesel, collagen, fertilizers, natural casings, solid waste management solutions, recycling, and transportation, with a focus on the circular economy. JBS ended 2025 with leverage at 2.39x, consistent with its long-term target, a comfortable amortization schedule with no significant maturities until 2031, and a highly competitive cost of debt with coupons through 2032 positioned below U.S. Treasury rates.

JBS competes globally with major protein processors including Tyson Foods (beef/pork/poultry), Perdue Farms (poultry), BrF (Brazil-based diversified protein), and regional players.
