COFCO Joycome Swings to 2025 Loss as Hog Prices Slump Despite Revenue Growth

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

COFCO Joycome Foods Limited ( (HK:1610) ) just unveiled an announcement.

COFCO Joycome Foods reported a 13.8% rise in 2025 revenue to RMB18.58 billion, driven mainly by higher hog production and a 30.3% increase in fresh pork sales volume despite a 19% drop in average hog selling prices. Branded small-packed fresh pork volumes surged 46.2%, lifting the branded share of fresh pork revenue to 32.1%, reflecting successful brand promotion and channel expansion.

However, the company swung to a loss before biological asset fair value adjustments of RMB290 million, compared with a profit a year earlier, as persistently low hog prices compressed margins across its hog production business. Management noted that cost improvements and technology-driven gains in fresh pork helped but were insufficient to offset market price pressure, and the board decided not to declare a final dividend for 2025, underscoring a more cautious stance for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1610) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on COFCO Joycome Foods Limited stock, see the HK:1610 Stock Forecast page.
