Movement Alert|Muyuan Foods Falls 3.13% in Regular Trading, Prolonged Hog Price Slump Drives Industry-Wide Losses

Market Focus05-20

On May 20, Muyuan Foods fell 3.13% in regular trading, trading at HKD 35.28/share, with trading volume of approximately HKD 58.85 million. The stock continued to hit new lows.

On the news front, national average live hog prices remain at approximately RMB 9.65–9.73/kg, significantly below the company's full production cost of around RMB 12/kg, placing the entire industry in a loss-making zone. Muyuan reported a Q1 net loss of RMB 1.215 billion, down 127.05% year-over-year, while April sales revenue declined 32.49% YoY. Although the Ministry of Agriculture recently lowered the breeding sow inventory target to 37.5 million head as a capacity adjustment signal, short-term hog prices remain in a bottom-range consolidation pattern. Institutional research indicates that listed hog enterprises fell into across-the-board losses in Q1 due to the sharp decline in hog prices, with the cycle building momentum at the bottom. The broader HK-listed pork concept sector traded weaker, reflecting cautious market sentiment and divergence over the timing of a cyclical reversal.
