The high end chicken products include Omega 3 chicken through its subsidiary, Farm’s Best Food Industries Sdn Bhd, which contains 75% more Omega 3 than regular chicken.
CAB is seen to benefit as the economy started to improve after the easing of the labour shortage problems after the pandemic.
Another catalyst for CAB is the government’s intention to allow the prices of broiler chickens and eggs to float freely with the market price to solve the problem of food supply shortages.
These policies are expected to increase the profitability of the poultry farming industry such as CAB.
Signs are looking positive for CAB and investors will be keen to put their funds in CAB especially given its relatively low P/E ratio is 6.6 times.
CAB seems like a good proxy to the recovery in the economy. After all, demand for chicken meat will keep growing as it is the cheapest source of meat protein.
In fact per capital consumption of chicken meat in Malaysia is around 50 kg, one of the highest in the world.
With a strong demand, the price of broiler is expected to remain high in the next quarter as the supply situation is still unstable.
All these serve as a great opportunity to lay your bet on this poultry country.
