On June 8, JBS NV fell 5.15% in regular trading, trading at approximately $11.64/share, with trading volume of $16.49 million. The decline extends recent weakness driven by concerns over a newly detected cattle parasite threatening US beef supply.
A deadly screwworm parasite was confirmed in a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas — the first detection in nearly a decade. The outbreak compounds existing pressure on the US beef sector, where cattle inventory has already contracted to 75-year lows, pushing retail beef prices to historic highs. The confirmed case may trigger livestock transportation restrictions across regions, further disrupting supply chains. JBS, as the world's largest animal protein exporter operating over 600 facilities with products sold in more than 190 countries, faces direct exposure to US cattle supply disruptions. Peer Tyson Foods previously dropped 4.2% on the initial reports, and JBS had already hit its lowest level since its US listing nearly a year ago.
