Poultry giant Inghams plunged as much as 19% to an all-time low after downgrading its FY26 earnings due to delays in operational improvements.
Income portfolios have room for some exposure to more eclectic/riskier positions in the quest to add some measured alpha. Miners are one example, with Fortescue (FMG) forecast to yield 6% fully franked over the next 12 months, but this could vary tremendously depending on the price of iron ore.
Poultry giant ING fell almost 6% on Wednesday, the most in 10 weeks, although things looked far worse in the early afternoon when the stock's Intra-day plunge was closer to 15%. News reports of an outbreak of bird flu detected by the Victorian Department of Agriculture at a farm in Meredith, Victoria, sent the stock plunging before ING delivered an update that “there currently is no impact to Ingham's operations or its supply chain, and it continues to supply the markets as usual”, hence the recovery.
On the surface, ING delivered a strong 1H24 result this month, with earnings (EBITDA) up 66% to $138mn, in line with the company's recent guidance update in late November
Poultry business ING delivered a strong result in August with NPAT of $71m coming in ~14% ahead of expectations. History tells us that during tough economic times, which most Australians are supposed to be enduring, although not according to yesterday's Retail Sales numbers, we turn to the cheaper protein alternative of chicken over, say, steak.
ING +14.75%: the poultry business hit ~5-month highs today after better expectations for FY23 and significantly de-gearing the balance sheet. Revenue of $3b was up 12% and in line with consensus, EBITDA up 14% to $434m was a small beat while NPAT of $71m was ~14% ahead of expectations.
Poultry giant ING fell -4.7% yesterday although it’s still up +3.5% year to date, this remains a billion-dollar business even after major underperformance over the last 2 years. In March the company delivered its FY’23 half-year result which showed NPAT was down 13.1% over the year primarily due to operational challenges such as supply chain disruptions and broad inflationary pressures.
Poultry giant ING has still got a market cap of $1.1bn even after a period of significant underperformance from the stock both before and post-COVID.
Poultry giant ING has struggled to take make any meaningful headway since listing back in 2016, recently the company has been weighed down by supply chain problems, COVID-absenteeism, weather, and input cost inflation however we believe the worst of these headwinds could be behind ING and at least a decent bounce could be unfolding.
Moving onto poultry business ING which has struggled over the last 12 months with supply chain problems, COVID-absenteeism, weather and input cost inflation all weighing on the business i.e. last year was a tough one for the industry:
MM is bullish ING around $2.10
MM is bullish towards ING for yield
MM is now neutral towards ING
MM likes ING around $3.50-60
MM is bullish ING, targeting fresh 2023 highs
MM is neutral ING
MM likes ING in the $2.50 region
MM likes ING for around $3
MM thinks the next 10% for ING is likely to be on the upside
MM likes ING into a “spike low” below $2.50
