WH Group Reports Strong Growth in Pork Segment

Wh Group (OTC) ( (WHGRF) ) has released its Q3 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Wh Group (OTC) presented to its investors.

WH Group Limited, a leading global pork company, operates in the packaged meats and pork sectors, with a significant presence in China, North America, and Europe. In its latest earnings report for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, WH Group announced an 8.5% increase in revenue to $20.477 billion, alongside a 7.3% rise in operating profit, reflecting robust performance in its pork segment despite a slight decline in packaged meats sales volume.

The company’s financial performance was highlighted by an 8.4% increase in pork sales volume, driven by strong growth in China, North America, and Europe. This contributed to a 12.0% rise in pork revenue and a significant 75.6% increase in pork operating profit, particularly due to a turnaround in North America’s hog production business. Meanwhile, packaged meats saw a 2.2% decrease in sales volume, with mixed results across regions, leading to a 5.2% decline in operating profit for this segment.

A notable strategic move during the period was the secondary public offering of Smithfield Foods, Inc., an indirect subsidiary, which raised approximately $505 million. This allowed WH Group to distribute a special dividend of $495 million to its shareholders, while retaining an 87.0% equity interest in Smithfield.

Looking ahead, WH Group management remains focused on its core packaged meats business, aiming to enhance product and channel transformation in China, maintain profitability in the US, and expand its scale in Europe. Despite challenges from the global political and trade environment, the company plans to leverage its strategies of industrialization, diversification, globalization, and digitalization to achieve stable and positive operating results.
