Goldman believes that capital management initiatives from this poultry company could be a positive surprise. The broker feels that this is likely to be from a share buyback program which it estimates could be 5.5% to 11.5% earnings accretive.

Chicken and turkey producer Inghams Group is up to a two-year high of $4.36 this morning, with a one-day rise of 7.4 per cent from yesterday's close of $4.17. And it's not just thoughts of the Christmas lunch buffet that are driving interest.

 

Morgan Stanely upgraded the stock to 'equal-weight' this morning and changed its target price from $3.40 to $4.40. It notes that Ingham's contract with Woolworths, which accounts for 40 per cent of its revenues, it up for renegotiation in mid-2021. It supplies about 70 per cent of Woolie's chicken, so small changes to the contract terms "would have a relatively small impact on Woolworths, but a significant impact to ING, in our view".

 

Morgan Stanley analysts see good profits coming from ownership changes at competitor Tegel and more automated production. Also the cost of all proteins is rising, which is a positive for chicken because consumers are likely to buy chook when steaks and lamb get too expensive. Wheat feed has become expensive thanks to the drought, but its contract with Woolworths allows it to increase costs, which Woolworths has not been passing onto consumers.
