SFD

Smithfield Foods, Inc. (NYSE:SFD) is one of the largest pork processors and producers in the United States, founded in 1936 and headquartered in Smithfield, Virginia. The company has evolved from a regional meat packer into a vertically integrated protein company that raises hogs, processes fresh pork, and manufactures packaged meat products. Smithfield operates as a subsidiary of SFDS UK Holdings Limited and went public in January 2025. The company has undergone significant strategic transformation in recent years, shifting from commodity-focused operations toward higher-margin value-added products while reducing its internal hog production capacity.
