Summary of Conference Call on Swine Industry Industry Overview - The swine market is currently experiencing a dual increase in supply and demand, but supply pressure remains significant. The number of new piglets is expected to rise in the first half of 2025, leading to increased fattening output in Q4 2025. However, the breeding group has a pessimistic outlook for 2026, compounded by high Q4 output, which continues to exert supply pressure [1][4]. Key Financial Insights - The swine industry faced losses at the end of Q3 and the beginning of Q4 2025, with cash costs around 11 RMB/kg. Small and medium-sized farmers are losing approximately 16 RMB and 34 RMB per pig, respectively, while those purchasing piglets are facing losses of 257 RMB per pig. The overall profitability of the industry is under pressure, and production capacity is entering a phase of reduction [1][5]. Production Capacity and Market Predictions - It is anticipated that swine production capacity will continue to decrease in the near term. In September 2025, the number of breeding sows decreased by 90,000 compared to the end of Q2. The industry is expected to face losses again in Q4 2025 and the first half of 2026, accelerating the capacity reduction process under government encouragement to control production [1][6]. Investment Recommendations - The company recommends investing in Muyuan Foods, which maintains industry-leading costs and is increasing its dividend levels while reducing its debt ratio, indicating potential for value re-evaluation. Other recommended companies include Wens Foodstuff Group and several second-tier firms with good growth potential, low costs, and attractive valuations, such as Dekang Bange, Shennong Group, Juxing Agriculture, Tiankang Co., and Lihua Co. These companies have relatively stable debt ratios and are expected to have advantages in the next cycle [1][7][8]. Market Trends and Opportunities - The current market price trend for swine is in a clear downward phase, with prices dropping below expectations post-October. Although there has been a recent rebound to 12.2 RMB/kg, this is primarily due to previous sharp declines and absorption by the breeding group. Overall, supply remains high, and prices are expected to remain under pressure in the coming months [3][4]. Historical Context and Future Outlook - Historical data indicates that excess returns in each cycle often occur during the capacity reduction phase. The current situation presents a critical opportunity for investment, as industry losses and accelerated capacity reduction lay the groundwork for future upward cycles [2][9].
