Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - In August 2025, the weight reduction in the pig industry led to an increase in slaughter volume, causing both futures and spot prices to reach new lows for the year [1][6]. - The overall atmosphere of "anti - involution" drives up the prices of risk assets, and domestic inflation expectations are likely to rise. Policy signals to support the pig market are released, but the short - term supply pressure is high due to weight reduction. For the second half of 2025, if the macro - expectations continue to strengthen, there are conditions for the valuation of low - priced pig futures to be revised upwards [3][4]. - The industry's production efficiency has improved, but the overall expansion is slow. The supply in the second half of 2025 may not be worse than in 2023, and it is recommended to go long on pig futures at low prices or buy call options near the cost [3][4]. Summary by Directory 2025 August Pig Futures and Spot Price Review - In August, the futures and spot prices of pigs fluctuated and declined, with the 2509 contract hitting a new low for the year. The decline was affected by factors such as the increase in slaughter volume due to weight reduction and the weak terminal consumption [6][25]. - Historically, the pig price in August usually shows an upward trend, but in 2025, it went against the season and weakened [41]. Pig Production Capacity and Slaughter Situation - The current inventory of breeding sows is in the green reasonable range, with a cumulative increase of about 3% compared to March 2024 [44][45]. - Group enterprises' capital expenditure has significantly decreased year - on - year, the price of reserve sows has been stable, and market speculation has declined [46][49]. - The production efficiency of single sows has improved, and the gap between leading enterprises is gradually narrowing. In 2025, pig slaughter volume has increased due to the recovery of breeding sow capacity and improved production efficiency, but the growth rate may not be large [51][54][55]. Listed Pig Enterprises - In 2025, the overall profitability of leading listed pig companies has expanded, but the monthly sales volume of piglets has decreased [60][63]. - The asset - liability ratio of listed companies is at a historically high level [66]. Near - term Supply and Demand Fundamentals - From July to August, the industry's weight reduction led to an increase in slaughter volume, and the current weight is still at a high level compared to the same period in history. In August, the slaughter volume rebounded significantly and was higher than that in 2023 [70][72]. - The import volume of pork and offal has declined from a high level, and the frozen product inventory rebounded slightly at a low level in August 2025 [75][78]. - The current monthly average profit level is at the historical median. In July, the profit of purchasing piglets for fattening was near the break - even point, and in August, it started to make losses [81]. August Futures Price Review - The pig futures index rebounded from a historical low, and the trading volume and open interest increased significantly month - on - month and year - on - year [83]. - The near - month contract made up for the decline compared to the spot price, and the premium of the far - month contract in the peak season expanded under the support of policies [86][89]. - The basis is stronger than in previous years, and attention should be paid to the way of the regression of spot and futures prices in the third quarter [95]. - In August, the spread trading showed a reverse spread trend, and the volatility of the 2601 contract declined [98][104]. Conclusion - The industry is currently in the process of weight reduction and capacity reduction. Attention should be paid to whether the supply pressure can be alleviated in the fourth quarter. In trading, it is recommended to go long on the 2511 contract at low prices or conduct spread trading between 2601 and 2605, and sell wide - straddle option spreads when the volatility is high [106].
