This food giant garners the bulk of its revenues from beef, and with high beef prices the bottom line looks strong. In addition, more than 80% of their sales take place in US dollars, which largely eliminates issues related to Brazilian currency devaluations and other BRIC-related problems. They also own 75% of Pilgrim's Pride (PPC) which has been a perennial favorite of our models lately.
