Core Viewpoint - The report from GF Securities indicates that several listed companies have released monthly operational data, showing an overall increase in pig output in October 2025, despite a recent decline in pig prices below 12 yuan/kg, leading to continued losses across the industry. The expectation is for low piglet prices to persist in the upcoming months due to the off-peak season for restocking, with a recommendation to prioritize leading companies with cost advantages given the current low valuation of the sector [1]. Group 1: Listed Companies' Output Tracking - In October 2025, the overall pig output from 15 listed companies increased by 23.7% month-on-month and 46.4% year-on-year, totaling 18.43 million pigs. Excluding Muyuan Foods, the output was 11.35 million pigs, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 21.8% and a year-on-year increase of 73.0% [2]. - From January to October 2025, the total pig output from listed companies reached 154.79 million, marking a year-on-year growth of 35.0%. Excluding Muyuan Foods, the output was 90.39 million, with a year-on-year increase of 27.5% [2]. - Major companies like Muyuan Foods, Wens Foodstuff Group, New Hope, and Dekang Agriculture reported significant increases in pig output, with Muyuan Foods alone contributing 7.08 million pigs in October, reflecting a month-on-month increase of 27.0% and a year-on-year increase of 14.6% [2]. Group 2: Small and Medium-sized Breeding Enterprises - In October, small and medium-sized enterprises such as Tangrenshen, Tiankang Biological, Shennong Group, and Juxing Agriculture reported pig outputs of 619,000; 304,000; 335,000; and 459,000 respectively, with month-on-month increases of 50.7%, 13.7%, 46.5%, and 30.6% [3]. - From January to October 2025, these companies had cumulative outputs of 4.38 million; 2.59 million; 2.45 million; and 3.39 million pigs, with year-on-year increases of 33.2%, 6.5%, 31.0%, and 64.4% respectively [3]. Group 3: Sales Price Analysis - In October, the average sales price for listed companies (excluding Dongrui) was 11.46 yuan/kg, reflecting a month-on-month decrease of 11.8%. Variations in sales prices were influenced by factors such as sales regions, product quality, and piglet sales proportions [4]. - The average weight of pigs sold in October was approximately 119.74 kg per head, showing a month-on-month increase of 0.8% [4]. Group 4: Investment Recommendations - The report highlights that the recent decline in pig prices has led to ongoing losses across the industry, with piglet prices expected to remain low in the near term. The current industry losses, combined with a trend towards reducing production capacity, suggest a potential acceleration in the pace of capacity reduction [5]. - The report recommends focusing on leading companies with cost advantages, specifically highlighting Wens Foodstuff Group and Muyuan Foods as key investment targets, while also suggesting attention to Dekang Agriculture and New Hope. For potential recovery plays, Zhengbang Technology is noted, along with small and medium-sized enterprises like Tiankang Biological, Shennong Group, and Tangrenshen [5].
