D.A. Davidson & Co. (“D.A. Davidson”) announced today that it served as the exclusive sell-side financial advisor to Pearl Valley Farms (“Pearl Valley” or the “Company”), a second-generation, family-owned egg producer, on its sale to Global Eggs, a leading global egg producer and distributor.
In 1987, the Thompson family laid the foundation for what would become Pearl Valley Farms, beginning with 200,000 birds alongside an egg-packing and cooling facility. Pearl Valley steadily expanded over the past 40 years while upholding its unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, environmentally responsible products. Today, the Company is one of the largest domestic, self-sustaining egg farms, with approximately 2 million hens and a portfolio spanning eight brands across shell eggs, egg products, and fertilizer.
“Pearl Valley Farms represents the best of what a family-owned business is. The continued commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability has created a world-class business,” said Danny Friedman, Managing Director at D.A. Davidson.
“The Thompson family has built an exceptional business over the past four decades. We are proud to have advised them on this important transaction and believe Global Eggs is the ideal partner to support the Company’s continued growth and long-term vision,” added Jonathan Leong, Managing Director at D.A. Davidson.
“This transaction marks an exciting new chapter for Pearl Valley Farms,” said Ben Thompson, CEO of Pearl Valley Farms. “Our family has spent decades building this company, and partnering with Global Eggs ensures that these values will continue to guide Pearl Valley’s future. The D.A. Davidson team was instrumental in this transaction and provided critical advice and guidance throughout the process.”
This transaction highlights D.A. Davidson’s strong track record in guiding food, beverage, and agricultural companies through strategic transactions and transformative partnerships.
