A recent report from Zhongtai Securities indicates that a moderate to strong El Niño event in the summer and fall of 2026 could extend the peak season for beverage sales, particularly for large-sized bottled water. This extended high-temperature period is expected to boost demand from both household and food service sectors, aligning with a long-term trend of high growth in the large-format bottled water market. Separately, the report notes a significant rebound in live hog prices, which have risen over 22% since mid-April due to reduced industry capacity and supportive policies, though related A-share concept stocks have seen an average decline of 19.64% year-to-date.
