Dow Jones

Jan 29, 2025

By Patrick Thomas

Smithfield Foods shares entered negative trading territory in its first trading day following an initial public offering.

Shares recently traded down around 2.4% to $19.52. The company's IPO priced at $20 a share, below its target between $23 and $27 a share. The company also cut the amount of shares available in the offering. The pricing gave the company a market value of around $8 billion.

The listing is the largest U.S. IPO by a food company since Oatly in 2021, according to Dealogic.

Smithfield wants to be seen as America's pork champion after more than a decade under Chinese ownership. Its goal may rely on how the Trump administration manages trade ties with Beijing.
