Smithfield Foods, Inc.

The company was incorporated on 25 July 1997 and lists its registered address as United States. 5 shareholders are on record for Smithfield Foods, Inc., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn.

Shareholders of Smithfield Foods, Inc.
Five shareholders are currently on record for Smithfield Foods, Inc., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Fidelity Puritan Trust-Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund, holding 4.3% — the largest recorded stake — followed by First TRT Exch-Trd Fd.-First TRT US Eqy. Opportunities ETF at 1.3%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Smithfield Foods, Inc. sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, WH Group Limited, registered in Cayman Islands. 36 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 5 jurisdictions. The full chain up to WH Group Limited is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Smithfield Foods, Inc.'s own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 36 subsidiaries span United States, Bermuda, Canada, France, Mexico jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Six of the 36 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
