GENERAL ADVICE ONLY
Graincorp & Elders: a favorable outlook driven by a few key factors. Firstly, the predicted absence of El Nino until 2027 bodes well for both summer and winter crops, ensuring stable and profitable growing seasons. Additionally, technological advancements in farming are enhancing crop yields and margins, which will directly benefit these volume-driven businesses, while also increasing land values, positive for Elders’ real estate division. Finally, the defensive nature of consumer staples, coupled with favorable agricultural conditions on the Eastern Seaboard, provides some immunity against broader market weakness, making GNC and ELD solid picks in a potentially volatile market.
Trade Plan
Rationale:
- El Nino/La Nina: As the bar chart above predicts, we are likely to see both a favourable Summer then Winter crop, with little to no chance of El Nino until 2027
- Technology: Leaps in farming technology have meant crop yields and margins have improved for the farmers. The increased crop yields will help both GNC & ELD as they are both volume businesses and increase land values due to ROI which will help ELD real estate arm.
- Defensive: The defensive nature of Consumer staples and the predicted ongoing favourable conditions for the Agriculture sector on the Eastern Seaboard mean that there is a certain amount of immunity to broader market weakness for these 2 picks.
