Channel/Product Mix Adj. Boosts Core Business Volume
发布时间:2026-05-11 来源:华泰证券
Shuanghui's 1Q26 revenue was RMB14,600mn(+2.1%YoY),attributable net profit(NP)was RMB1,290mn(+13.6%YoY),recurring NP was RMB1,280mn(+20.2%YoY),and net operating cash flow was RMB1,000mn(+20.0%YoY).In 1Q26,for its core business,sales volume continued to grow but ASP fell further under weak hog prices.The per-tonne profit of meat products remained relatively high,slaughtering volume continued to expand,while breeding losses widened amid hog price declines.Looking towards full-year 2026,we expect hog prices to remain relatively low.That said,we look for Shuanghui's channel deepening and product mix adjustments to help it achieve its goals of stabilizing profit and sustained volume.Maintain BUY.
1Q26:sales continue to rise as ASP slides further
1)Meat products(44%of 1Q26 revenue):In 1Q26,revenue was RMB6,390mn(+14.4%YoY);sales volume grew by 15.1%YoY on alow base(caused by channel reforms),growing contribution from emerging channels(1Q26 sales volume up by c.50%YoY),and sales boosted by cost-effective product series.In 1Q26,ASP fell by 0.5%YoY,which we attribute to structurally weak demand,fierce end-market competition,and discounts in exchange for market share.
2)Slaughtering(40%of 1Q26 revenue):In 1Q26,the slaughtering segment recorded external transaction revenue of RMB5,900mn(-9.6%YoY),with slaughtering volume up by 33.8%YoY,and external sales volume of fresh meat up by 15%YoY.Bracing for market competition,Shuanghai continued to increase its capacity utilization rate.In 1Q26,the ASP of fresh meat fell by 17.4%YoY,largely in line with a19.6%YoY decline in industry-average pork wholesales price.3)Other businesses(16%of 1Q26 revenue):In 1Q26,revenue from other businesses(mainly hog breeding and the poultry chain)grew by 5.7%YoY to RMB2.3bn,driven by a92%YoY increase in hog output and expanding breeding capacity.
Profitability:cost benefits continue
1)Meat products(102%of 1Q26 profit):Per-tonne profit remained high.In 1Q26,revenue was RMB1.76bn(+19.4%YoY),and operating profit margin rose by 1.1pp YoY to 27.6%.Per-tonne profit stayed elevated at c.RMB4,912(+3.8%YoY),having benefited from the low cost of raw materials.However,to support sales volume growth and cope with competition,Shuanghui increased marketing investment.For 1Q26,the overall sales expense ratio grew by 0.65ppYoY to 4.12%.For the remainder of 2026,we expect the company's meat product sales volume to grow steadily YoY,though profit per tonne may dip YoY amid upcoming spending.
2)Slaughtering(7%of 1Q26 profit):Scale expansion has mitigated price spread pressure.In 1Q26,the slaughtering segment's profit edged down by 0.2%YoY to c.RMB120mn,but operating profit margin edged up by 0.1pp YoY to c.1.8%.Per-head slaughtering profit fell by 25.4%YoY,mainly as the gross/dressed price spread remained sluggish across the industry.However,the company expanded its market share by significantly increasing its slaughtering scale and optimizing operational efficiency.In 2026,we expect slaughtering volume to maintain double-digit growth,and segment profit to rise steadily.
3)Other businesses(c.-9%of 1Q26 profit):In 1Q26,hog breeding profit saw its loss expand by c.RMB120mn YoY amid persistent hog price declines.We expect breeding costs to remain favorable and breeding loss to narrow as the company introduces advanced breeding technology/management expertise and improves its capacity utilization rate.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Assuming hog prices remain low in 2026 and the company's meat products and channel reforms start to deliver results,we raise our 2026/2027/2028 EPS forecast by 3/7/10%to RMB1.55/1.63/1.72.We value the stock at 21x 2026E PE,at par with its peers'average on Wind consensus.Our target price is RMB32.55(previous:RMB30.00,based on 20x 2026E PE).Maintain BUY.
Risks:Sharper live hog price fluctuations than we expect,slower channel expansion than we expect,food safety issues.
