    Pilgrim’s Pride (NYSE:PPC): Yesterday’s 15% decline an over reaction - Merrill Lynch

    <>- Merrill Lynch rates Buy and $28 tgt on Pilgrim’s Pride (NYSE:PPC) noting the stock was off ~15% following weaker than expected results from Sanderson Farms (SAFM).

    I've been reporting on these food producers since fund inception to give readers an idea of the coming inflation and adverse effects of the boondoggle that is ethanol. What I do find strange is how bad news from this group is coming as a "surprise" anymore - it has been increasingly bad all year and anyone who is paying attention could of saw this coming a long time ago. We are now at the point the chicken producers, for example, are now shutting down plants, letting go of employees (great for the economy) and trying to limit production since feed costs are through the roof. This will ho...
