Pilgrim's Pride is returning about $1.5 billion to its shareholders through a special dividend.
Pilgrim's Pride on Friday said its board declared a special dividend of $6.30, payable April 17 to shareholders of record April 3.
The Greeley, Colo., chicken company, which doesn't pay a regular dividend, said the special payout reflects a strong balance sheet and its commitment to create long-term shareholder value.
The bulk of the special dividend will go to Brazilian meatpacker JBS, which owns more than 80% of Pilgrim's Pride.
Shares of Pilgrim's Pride were recently up 4.3% to $52.41 in premarket trading.
