Pilgrim's Pride CEO Leaves His Perch -- Market Talk
10:21 ET - Bill Lovette raised some eyebrows in the meat industry eight years ago when he jumped from a senior position at Tyson Foods to take over as CEO of struggling poultry rival Pilgrim's Pride, but the bet seems a good one as the company announces his retirement. Lovette came in as Pilgrim's, the second-biggest US chicken company, emerged from bankruptcy thanks to an investment by Brazilian meat giant JBS. After stabilizing Pilgrim's business he steered expansion into Mexico and the UK, as well as investment in organic and antibiotic-free chicken. Pilgrim's shares tripled under Lovette's watch, though the past year has been bruising for the poultry industry due to low prices and slackened demand. Pilgrim's USA President Jayson Penn now takes over. PPC down 0.1%. (jacob.bunge@wsj.com; @jacobbunge)
