Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what JBS's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. JBS trades near $13.06, below its 50-day average ($13.50) and 200-day average ($14.62). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 41 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. JBS's is $0.35 (~2.7% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, JBS found buyers near $11.49 (support) and sellers near $12.71 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $11.49–$18.65. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.2× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue Growth
2Y CAGR
8.7%
Revenue moved from $72.92B in 2023 to $86.18B in 2025, a 8.7% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year grew a strong 48.5% year over year. Consistent top-line growth is one sign of healthy demand.
Profitability
Gross Margin
13.1%
Operating Margin
4.8%
Net Margin
2.3%
ROE
20.5%
Jbs NV keeps about 2.0% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 13.1% gross margin and 4.8% operating margin. Return on equity is 20.5% and return on invested capital about 11.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.
Debt Analysis
Total Debt
$20.26B
Net Debt
$15.69B
Net Debt / EBITDA
3.77x
Debt / Equity
2.65x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 2.6x, and operating profit covers interest about 2.5x, with a current ratio of 1.6x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $20.26B of total debt against $4.57B of cash.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating CF
$2.93B
Free Cash Flow
$832.68M
FCF Margin
1.0%
In the latest year Jbs NV produced about $2.93B of operating cash flow and $832.68M of free cash flow after capital spending. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.
Dividend Safety

What to look for in a dividend stockCoverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

Valuation Analysis

1.92x
EV / EBITDA
4.45x
JBS trades at 8.2x trailing earnings (about 7.5x on estimated forward earnings), 0.2x sales, and 1.9x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 2.5% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is an undemanding multiple — potentially cheap if the business is stable.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions.
Bull Case
The case for JBS:
- Revenue is growing 48.5% a year, a sign of real demand.
- Strong return on equity (20.5%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Pays a 16.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
Bear Case
The case against JBS:
- Thin net margins (2.0%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.6x) adds financial risk.
- Interest coverage is thin (2.5x), so debt costs bite.
Key Risks
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.6x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Margin risk — thin profitability (2.0%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the picture is mixed: Jbs NV is a large-cap consumer staples business still growing nicely, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 8.2x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (51/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

How is the 5-year projection for JBS calculated?
It's a scenario model. It starts from the latest annual revenue and net margin in SEC filings, grows revenue at an assumed rate (trailing revenue growth by default), and applies a P/E range built around today's multiple to show the resulting share-price range. When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
