QFH sitting at 8.99 after that earnings miss last quarter. Has anyone run the numbers on whether the dividend yield justifies holding through the next cycle, or are we just waiting for a catalyst that might not come?

to join the discussion
QFH getting hammered 13% today is painful, but the poultry cycle always comes around and margins typically recover once input costs normalize. Long-term players should be asking whether this drawdown represents genuine structural damage to the business or just cyclical pressure t
QFH sitting on solid fundamentals but poultry sector getting squeezed hard on feed costs and rand weakness. Last results showed margin pressure, that's the real risk here. Chicken demand stays steady though, so if input costs ease even a bit this thing could surprise on the upside. Risk reward is very compelling at these levels.
QFH sitting at R9.11 and the chicken story still makes sense if feed costs stay reasonable. poultry plays usually get hammered when grain spikes but the local demand is solid enough. reckon the real test is whether they can hold margin through winter when export competition kicks in.
QFH pushing past R10.89 on decent momentum this morning, up nearly 3%. Haven't seen major headline catalysts yet but the poultry sector's been picking up steam lately, worth monitoring if this holds above R10.80 support.
QFH sitting at R10.60 and poultry demand isn't going anywhere, especially with inflation eating into cheap protein. Margins still getting squeezed by feed costs but if they can stabilize input prices the upside is there. Comparing to Rainbow Chicken they're trading at a discount which either means opportunity or the market knows something.
chicken cycle is brutal but QFH's got real assets and distribution, not some pipe dream like half the garbage on this board. at R10.60 we're basically pricing in zero recovery from load-shedding pain. compare this to where Pioneer and Astral were before they broke through. can't fix stupid but patient money will win here.
Chicken prices are brutal right now but QFH's got scale that the smaller guys don't have, so they weather it better. At R10.60 you're getting a business that prints cash when feed costs aren't insane, and they're not going anywhere. Long term play if you can sit through the noise.
qfh sitting just below r10, chicken volumes staying steady but margins getting squeezed with feed costs and load shedding hitting processing. reckon institutional buyers waiting for a proper pullback before loading up again, company's still got decent market share vs rivals but needs better execution on costs.
Chicken prices finally stabilizing after that brutal period, QFH sitting at R9.99 so close to that R10 psychological level. Balance sheet looks solid compared to something like TSH, margins should improve once feed costs stop being mental. Long-term view hasn't changed, these companies always recover when commodity cycle turns.
QFH down just under 1% today at R1088, but I'm trying to understand what their earnings are looking like. Is it a dip worth buying into or is there something about their chicken business that I'm missing?
QFH is up 1.26% today but I reckon the market's missing the margin pressure story here. Chicken prices are normalising, consumer spending on premium protein is flattening, and their P/E doesn't justify the execution risk when you've got cheaper alternatives in the food space with
QFH down 5% to R949 looks like panic selling. Chicken prices normalizing should help margins recover next quarter, but poultry cycle volatility keeps me cautious.
