Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the agricultural products sector [11]. Core Insights - The pig farming industry has entered a clearing phase since 2021, with capital expenditure from large enterprises continuing to contract, leading to a recovery trend in industry ROE levels. Current industry capacity remains relatively excessive, and if policies are effectively implemented, it is expected to enhance profitability and stability in the sector. Attention should be paid to investment opportunities in leading enterprises [2][6][9]. Summary by Sections Industry Overview - The pig farming industry is in a mature stage, characterized by a significant increase in the scale of operations over the past 20 years. The proportion of large-scale farms (over 500 heads) has risen from 8.8% in 2000 to 70% in 2024, indicating a shift towards concentration and professionalization in the industry [7][16]. Policy Impact - Recent policies have emphasized capacity control and high-quality development. The current breeding sow inventory exceeds the normal level of 39 million heads, indicating an oversupply in the industry. The government has been proactive in promoting capacity control through various policy documents [30][31]. Trends and Investment Opportunities - The report identifies two major trends in the pig farming industry: 1. An expected increase in industry ROE levels with reduced volatility, highlighting the advantages of quality enterprises. The average ROE is projected to rise from -10% in 2021 to 21% in 2024 [9][45]. 2. An increase in free cash flow levels, leading to significant shareholder returns for quality enterprises. The industry is expected to generate a total free cash flow of 23 billion yuan in 2024, a 100% increase year-on-year [54][60]. Recommended Companies - The report specifically recommends investing in leading companies in the sector, including Muyuan Foods, Wens Foodstuff Group, Juxing Agriculture, and Shennong Group, as their valuations are currently at historical lows [2][9].

Core Viewpoint - The report from Huazhong Securities indicates that the pig farming industry is expected to enter a downward price cycle in 2025, but due to limited production capacity growth, normal profitability is anticipated. With the implementation of policies by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), pig prices in 2026 may exceed expectations, benefiting companies with excellent cost control [1][3]. Group 1: Industry Outlook - The production capacity recovery is notably slow, with pig prices currently in a downward cycle. By the 23rd week of 2025, the national average pig price was 14.78 yuan/kg, a year-on-year decrease of 16.7% and a decline of 10.8% from the beginning of the year [1]. - The average weight of pigs in 2025 is significantly high, with the national average at 128.28 kg, which is the highest level since 2022, showing an increase compared to the same period in previous years [2]. - The NDRC's policies are expected to have a lasting impact, with a projected decline in the number of breeding sows and a decrease in pig weights, leading to a stabilization and potential increase in pig prices in 2026 [3]. Group 2: Company Performance - The fundamentals of listed pig companies are continuously improving, with a total output of 86.99 million pigs from 20 listed companies in the first five months of 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 31% [4]. - The breeding costs for listed pig companies are on a downward trend, with major players like Muyuan, Wens, and Shennong leading the industry in cost efficiency. For instance, Muyuan's cost per kilogram for fattening pigs decreased from 13.1 yuan in January to 12.2 yuan in May 2025 [4].
