Core Viewpoint - The report from CITIC Securities indicates that live cattle prices have room for growth, while milk prices remain at historically low levels. The ongoing reduction in dairy cow inventory and the gradual impact of the reduction in beef breeding cows are expected to improve the performance of upstream breeding companies. The outlook for raw milk and beef cycles is positive, suggesting a potential upward trend in prices and profitability for the industry [1]. Summary by Category Raw Milk - After the double festival, supply and demand are relatively stable, with milk prices entering a bottoming phase. The overall supply-demand situation has remained stable since Q3, continuing in an oversupply state, with contract prices remaining flat [2]. - The demand for dairy products is under pressure, with a significant decline in sales since Q3 2025, exceeding double digits. The performance of ambient products is notably weaker than that of chilled products. Domestic brands hold only 4% of the market share in deep processing, indicating substantial room for domestic replacement [2]. Beef Cattle - Live cattle prices are experiencing short-term fluctuations, with a cumulative reduction in inventory exceeding 10% since 2024. Attention is drawn to changes in supply by 2026 [3]. - The prices of live cattle and cull cows have been fluctuating at high levels since Q3 2025, with cull cow prices improving, which will enhance profit margins. However, profits are still significantly below the peak of the previous cycle [3]. Future Outlook - Domestic liquid milk demand remains under pressure, but there is potential for growth in deep processing and export markets. The supply-side reduction in inventory is expected to slow down, with expectations for slight acceleration in inventory reduction during the off-season [4]. - The reduction of breeding cows may exceed 10% since 2024, leading to a shortage in domestic cattle supply, which is a key driver for the current rise in beef prices. The previous cycle saw an 11% decline in inventory, resulting in a price increase of over 60% for fattening cattle. The current increase in live cattle prices is still below 20%, indicating further potential for price growth [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are mentioned in the provided reports. 2. Core Views 2.1 Oils and Fats Industry - Palm oil is expected to maintain low - level volatility or weak rebounds due to concerns about slowing exports. Domestic Dalian palm oil futures will fluctuate between 8600 - 8700 yuan, and there is pressure to weaken further. Port inventories are expected to rise as demand weakens with falling temperatures [1]. - For soybean oil, the 2025/26 US soybean oil supply is up, but the ending stocks are down. This supports CBOT soybean oil. In China, spot prices rose slightly, and the basis was stable.

The market is actively selling pigs, and slaughterhouses have no difficulty in procurement, suppressing prices. The market is in a weak range - bound pattern.

Short - term cotton prices may be under pressure [15]. 2.7 Egg Industry - The number of laying hens in production remains high, and the supply is loose.
