生猪年报：供应前高后低磨底寻转机

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Views of the Report - The year 2026 is expected to be in the bottom - grinding stage of the downward cycle, and the industry needs thorough capacity clearance to enter the upward cycle [1][12][55] - Supply in 2026 will be high in the first half and low in the second half, with significant pressure in the first quarter. The high average weight of live pigs and concentrated pre - holiday slaughtering will suppress price increases during the peak season [2][54][56] - In 2026, as the "14th Five - Year Plan" begins, the warming macro - economy and improved pork cost - effectiveness will drive a moderate increase in pork demand, but the increase is restricted by the macro - economic recovery and consumer confidence [2][40][56] - Feed costs will continue to fluctuate at a low level in 2026, and the industry will continue to reduce costs and increase efficiency, with the expected full cost dropping to around 12 yuan/kg [3][49][56] - Policies will continue to guide the orderly exit of production capacity and stabilize prices. If the pig price drops sharply below 5:1 in 2026, policy support measures such as state reserves will be implemented [3][51][57] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - In 2025, the pig market price was under pressure due to over - supply. The national live pig slaughter price fluctuated between 10.81 yuan/kg and 16.23 yuan/kg, and the futures showed a pattern of limited rebound and downward oscillation [7] - From January to February, the price fluctuated and declined. After the Spring Festival in February, the spot price quickly dropped to 14.5 yuan/kg, and then stopped falling and oscillated. The futures were relatively strong [7] - From March to June, the price fluctuated within a narrow range. After the festivals in April, the price decreased due to strong supply and weak demand. In June, it stopped falling and rebounded [8] - From July to December, the price trended downward. In September, the pig - grain ratio fell below 6:1. On December 5, the price dropped to 11.1 yuan/ton, a 31.6% decline from the beginning - of - year high [9] 3.2 Fundamental Analysis 3.2.1 Pig Cycle - Since 2006, China has experienced about four complete pig cycles. The fifth cycle lasted about 23 months. If 2024 March is the starting point of a new cycle, as of November 2025, the decline stage has reached 15 months [12] - Compared with the fifth cycle, the current cycle's loss time and amplitude in the breeding sector are still insufficient. The industry needs more losses to drive thorough capacity clearance, and 2026 is expected to be in the bottom - grinding stage of the downward cycle [12][55] 3.2.2 Supply Side - Accelerated culling of sows but still above the normal level: Before September 2025, the culling of sows was slow. After September, under policy pressure and losses, the culling accelerated. As of October, the official sow inventory was 3990 million, still 2.31% above the normal level [17][19] - Optimized sow inventory structure and improved production performance: The proportion of binary sows has increased to 95%. In 2025, the industry's production performance continued to improve. The increase in production performance will offset some of the impact of capacity culling and increase potential supply in 2026 [25][26] - Increasing number of piglets and high supply pressure in Q1 2026: Since February 2025, the number of new - born piglets has increased. Based on piglet and feed data, the supply pressure from December 2025 to Q1 2026 is high [30] - Higher average slaughter weight and short - term pressure to be released: In 2025, the influence of secondary fattening decreased. The high average weight of live pigs reflects high supply pressure. Before the Spring Festival, the concentrated slaughter of large - scale farms and big pigs may form a "double pressure" [33][34] 3.2.3 Demand Side - Steady growth in demand driven by macro - economic recovery and cost - effectiveness: In 2025, the macro - economy had a weak recovery, consumer confidence was low, and pig demand was weak. In 2026, the improvement of the macro - economy and the cost - effectiveness of pork will drive the growth of pork consumption, but the increase is restricted by the macro - economic recovery and consumer confidence [40][41][56] - Seasonal demand still exists but with milder fluctuations: In 2025, the seasonal demand boost was short - lived and weak. In 2026, the Spring Festival is postponed, and the change in the industrial pattern will further weaken the peak - season characteristics [42] - High frozen - product inventory and limited support for consumption: The current high frozen - product inventory will suppress supply before and after the peak season [2][56] 3.2.4 Cost Side - In 2025, the feed price was low, and the average full cost of listed companies in September/October dropped to 12.69 yuan/kg [49] - In 2026, the feed cost will continue to fluctuate at a low level, and the industry is expected to reduce the full cost to around 12 yuan/kg [50][56] 3.2.5 Policy Side - In 2025, multi - dimensional anti - involution policies were introduced to control production capacity, weight, secondary fattening, and strengthen environmental protection, aiming to guide the industry towards high - quality development [51][52] - The policy requires the reduction of sow inventory to below 3900 million by the end of January 2026, which can control the supply of live pigs in 2026 from the source [51] - In the future, policies will continue to guide the orderly exit of production capacity and stabilize prices. If the pig price drops sharply below 5:1 in 2026, policy support such as state reserves will be provided [52][57] 3.3 Outlook - Before the first half of 2026, supply will remain high, and the price during the peak season is not optimistic. The price in the first half of the year will be under pressure, and it may be relatively strong in the second half, but caution is needed due to cost reduction [57] - In terms of strategies, under supply pressure, short - term contracts should be shorted on rebounds, and long - term contracts should be cautiously bullish. The industry can hedge on rallies before effective capacity reduction [57]
