The company strongly condemns such acts and reserves the right to investigate the legal responsibility of the parties concerned.”
Earlier, in March this year, the network big V “chivalrous shadow of heaven and earth” published “is mu Yuanhui thunder?” The article questioned a number of financial data such as Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) fixed assets / sales revenue much higher than that of Listed Companies in the same industry, a large number of related party transactions and ROE (return on net assets) of minority shareholders.
In this regard, on March 16, Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) disclosed a 33 page reply, saying that the gross profit margin of the company’s pig breeding business was significantly higher than that of comparable companies in the same industry, mainly due to the low unit cost of pigs, differences between breeding pigs and piglets, pig product structure and pig breeding methods. Compared with the listed companies in the same industry, the company’s pig breeding adopts the “full self-supporting, full chain and intelligent” breeding mode, while the listed companies in the same industry mostly adopt the surrogate breeding mode. Due to the adoption of the production mode of “company + farmers”, the surrogate maintenance mode has the characteristics of “neglecting assets”; The full autotrophic model requires the company to independently invest in the construction of pig farms. Therefore, compared with listed companies in the same industry, the company’s fixed assets account for a higher proportion of operating income and the turnover rate of fixed assets is low.

Under the above questions, Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) not only attracted regulatory inquiries, but also Qin Yinglin, the actual controller and chairman of the company, was interviewed by the CSRC due to the “sick” Declaration of convertible bond issuance.

According to the Research Report of Kaiyuan securities, Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) the fixed increase of 6 billion major shareholders is conducive to alleviating the working capital pressure of the company in 2022. According to the calculation, by the end of Q3, the company’s working capital gap was 19.09 billion yuan. Based on the company’s target of 50-60 million pigs in 2022, if the downturn cycle of pig price is prolonged, the company’s financing gap will increase by more than 50% year-on-year in 2022. From the perspective of operational stability, the increase of major shareholders’ holdings in the industry during the trough period will help the company alleviate the pressure of working capital in 2022 and optimize the financial structure.

northward capital reduction, Chinese public fund increase
When the pig price stabilizes, Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) also acts frequently in the near future. Does it mean that the inflection point of the pig cycle is coming? From the operation trend of funds, institutions seem to have great differences on this.
For example, Xiao Nan, star fund manager of e fund, once wrote in the semi annual report: “In the first half of the year, considering that the decline of pig price will bring a new round of industry reshuffle, some production capacity blindly expanded at the high pig price regardless of their own cost capacity will be eliminated, and the industry pattern will further concentrate on the leader, so we increased our holdings in the breeding sector. However, we underestimated the time required for the industry to clear, and the position increase was too left, which did not achieve the expected effect.” From the third quarterly report, Xiao Nan’s shareholding in Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) remained basically unchanged in the third quarter.
At the same time, many public funds in China increased their positions on Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) in the third quarter, including some star fund managers. For example, the China Europe new blue chip managed by Zhou Weiwen increased its position by 6.3226 million shares, making it the tenth largest heavy position stock of the fund; In addition, huitianfu blue chip managed by Lei Ming steadily increased its position by Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) 5 million shares, and Du Meng’s Shanghai Investment Morgan vision held 4.5973 million shares in two years.
On the whole, by the end of the third quarter of 2021, 101 funds held Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) heavy positions, with a total of 146.0848 million shares, an increase of 41.7474 million shares compared with the end of the second quarter.
However, at the same time, the third quarterly report shows that the Hong Kong Central Clearing Center (land stock connect), which represents the capital going north, significantly reduced its holdings of Muyuan Foods Co.Ltd(002714) in the third quarter, reducing its holdings of about 33.8053 million shares compared with the end of the second quarter.

The research report believes that the essence of pig cycle formation is the mismatch of supply and demand, and supply is the key factor affecting pig cycle. It often takes 10-12 months from sow stocking to pig marketing. Sow stocking determines the pig stocking after 8-12 months, which affects the change of pig price. From the analysis of the cycle W-shaped bottom, it is expected that the pig price will hit the bottom again from June to August 2002. Before the rise of each cycle, the pig price shows a W-shape at the bottom. The pig price hits the bottom twice. The interval between the first bottom and the second bottom is about 8-11 months, and the price increase is between 10% – 15%. In October 2021, it was observed that the pig price was as low as 10.78 yuan / kg. The second bottom of pig price in this cycle is expected to be between June and August 2022, and the second bottom of pig price is expected to be about 11-12 yuan.
