JBS N.V.BofA calls JBS's all-stock bid for remaining Pilgrim's Pride stake attractive, citing consolidation without cash outlay and improved cash flow retention.
JBS has announced a non-binding proposal to acquire the remaining 18% stake in its subsidiary Pilgrim's Pride in an all-stock transaction. Bank of America views the proposed deal as more attractive than JBS's 2021 attempt, which offered $26.50 per share in cash and was later raised to $28.50 before being rejected by Pilgrim's Pride's independent special committee. The bank said the new structure would let JBS consolidate Pilgrim's Pride without a cash outlay, improve cash flow retention, simplify its corporate structure, and concentrate share liquidity. Pilgrim's Pride shares rose 3.4% in premarket trading, while JBS edged 0.2% higher.
