The U.S. chicken producer posted an EPS of $1.25, higher than the $1.20 analysts were expecting. Revenue for the quarter jumped 22% to $624.9 million, also above the street’s estimate of $620 million. The main reason for the jump is the price of chicken, which rose 8.6% in the quarter. The recent drought caused crop prices to rise which ultimately causes livestock prices to rise as well. Finally, the recent Apple/Samsung trial has caused a shake up in the mobile phone industry. The ruling, which said Samsung infringed on many of Apple’s design and software patents, has caused concern among businesses competing with the two companies. Many owners and investors are worried the trial is just a slippery slope that could cause a drop in competition and a spike in prices.
