- Shares of Brazilian meat producer JBS started trading Friday in the U.S. public market under the ticker "JBS," with their opening price at $13.65 per share.

- JBS, founded more than 70 years ago, is the world's largest meatpacker with significant U.S. operations and a $77.2 billion revenue reported last year.
- J&F Investimentos, the controlling shareholder, paid a $3.2 billion bribery fine in 2017, and JBS faced a $27 million SEC settlement in 2020; shares fell 6% in early trading.
- The dual listing could expand investor access and financing, but environmental groups urged the NYSE to reject it, highlighting deforestation risks tied to JBS's sourcing.
