NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announces that it has commenced an investigation of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (“Pilgrim’s Pride” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:PPC) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws by the Company and/or certain of its officers and directors.

On October 7, 2016, Pivotal Research downgraded the Company’s peer, Tyson Foods, Inc., citing concerns about a “powerfully convincing” class action naming Tyson, Pilgrim’s Pride, and other industry peers as defendants and alleging price collusion in the broiler-chicken market. According to the complaint, beginning in 2008, the defendants colluded by sharing proprietary data and reducing production to support prices.
