Group 4: Future Outlook - Wens is expected to have continued growth potential due to its financial capacity to expand, while Muyuan and New Hope may face challenges in further expansion due to liquidity constraints [66]. - The pig cycle is anticipated to smooth out over time, reducing its impact on large-scale investments and expansions in the industry [19].
