# Pilgrim's Pride CEO: Chicken Supply Boom Will Ease in H2

> Pilgrim's Pride CEO Fabio Sandri said US chicken supply grew 4.5% in Q2 2026, above estimates, due to better livability and no major disease outbreaks. He expects supply growth to slow in the second half, toward USDA's 2.5% projection, with the breeding flock flat year over year.

## Why it matters

Larger near-term broiler supply is bearish for chicken prices, while expected slowing in H2 and steady breeding flocks would reduce pressure later and keep feed demand stable.
