Poultry (Overweight) - Prospect for 2021: Government’s continuous massive intervention to support recovery 

We believe the case of recovery for Poultry sector is increasingly likely as the government shows stronger commitment to continuously intervene the market in order to curb supply and maintain broiler and DOC price at a reasonable level. 

Aside from that, we see that demand for chicken is unlikely to weaken further from here regardless of how good or bad the pandemic is and how PSBB status development will evolve in the months ahead. We believe that demand has declined significantly due to the major drop in activity of restaurants, hotels, and events this year. Hence, the current chicken demand represents demand from daily individual consumption, which is improbable for people to reduce spending on daily staple food.

That said, Poultry sector might be primed for stellar earnings growth in 2021 after experiencing deep slumps in 2020 earnings. We expect JPFA and MAIN to have higher earnings growth. 

We think the sector deserves valuation re-rerating, justified by: 1) recent steady price recovery, supported by government to continuously curb supply, more firmly signals that sector recovery in 2021 continues to take shape; 2) aggressive earnings growth outlook due to the low base in 2020; and 3) possibly market re-rating tailwinds. 

We upgrade our sector view to Overweight and shift our top pick to JPFA due to the following reasons: 1) Higher earnings growth outlook due to 2020 low-base effect, coupled with additional earnings coming from the newly acquired subsidiary SGF; 2) more attractive margin expansion during recovery; and, 3) its wide valuation gap with CPIN may provide attractive upside potential for the share price.
