【巴克莱报告】这篇报告由巴克莱资本发布,聚焦于美国农业行业,特别是农林牧渔领域的两大公司——Archer Daniels Midland Company(ADM)和Bunge Limited(BG)。报告指出,随着全球人口的增长,对农产品的需求正在上升,这为全球粮食加工业带来了巨大的增长潜力。ADM和BG作为行业中的重要参与者,它们在北美和南美等高产地区采购原材料,并拥有庞大的全球物流网络,使它们能够有效连接农户与消费者。
**ADM分析**:巴克莱给予ADM“超重”评级,并设定了$52的目标价格。报告认为,ADM正在从传统的商品公司转型为价值增值的营养品公司。通过重组其业务组合,将高附加值的营养业务纳入其中,ADM不仅实现了垂直整合,还预计能实现更高的销售增长率和扩大合并利润率。虽然短期风险如贸易摩擦、COVID-19疫情和天气因素可能会影响业绩,但巴克莱预计从中长期看,ADM的投资策略将创造股东价值。
**BG分析**:同样给予BG“超重”评级,但未提供具体的价格目标。BG作为全球粮食处理器,其在全球供应链中的地位使其能够受益于农产品需求的增长。然而,报告并未详细说明BG的具体投资策略或未来展望。
**行业风险与机遇**:尽管ADM和BG处于有利位置,农业行业仍然面临多重风险,包括但不限于国际贸易环境的不确定性、气候变化对农业生产的影响、疾病爆发(如COVID-19)对供应链的冲击以及农产品价格波动等。这些因素都需要投资者在做决策时充分考虑。
**总结**:巴克莱的报告揭示了农业行业的前景,特别是ADM和BG作为行业领导者所面临的机遇与挑战。报告强调了两家公司在全球粮食供应链中的关键角色,以及它们通过战略转型来捕捉市场增长的能力。同时,它也提醒投资者注意潜在的风险,需要全面评估这些因素才能做出明智的投资决策。报告最后部分提到的分析师认证和重要披露,提示读者应参考第58页及以后的内容,以获取更完整的信息和分析师的独立性声明。

From Farm to Consumer – Initiating
ADM and BG at OW
We are initiating coverage on ADM and BG with both stocks rated Overweight:
Global grain processors, in our view, are well positioned to capture future growth, as
demand for agricultural products increases on the back of a growing population. ADM
and BG both source raw materials from the most productive regions (North and South
America), while having an extensive global logistics network, allowing both companies
to connect farmers to consumers. While the industry is exposed to several risks, which
should not be underestimated, we believe the very particular investment thesis of ADM
and BG can create shareholder value.
ADM (OW, $52 price target) – Delivering on its transition from a commodity
company to a value-added nutrition company: ADM, in our view, has taken the right
steps in the past, reshuffling its portfolio and adding the value-added nutrition business
to its portfolio. The segment not only fits well due to vertical integration, it should also
allow ADM to grow sales at higher rates while expanding consolidated margins, as the
business has an intrinsically higher earnings power. Although short-term risks related
to trade, COVID-19, and weather, among others, can have an impact on results, we see
in the medium term a higher level of profitability, which drives our $52 price target.
BG (OW, $55 price target) – Still in the early stages of its transition story: With over
200 years of history, BG very recently embarked on its transformation journey. In early
2019, BG put a new and motivated management team in place to lead the transition,
and we expect the company to further deliver in 2020 on the early success of its
restructuring. While BG is exposed to the same risks as ADM, we see its international
diversification as one pillar for potentially more stability within the commodity-intense
segments; that said, BG lacks a sizeable and higher-margin segment compared to ADM.
With growing demand from China and Africa, North and South America will be the
“natural suppliers” of agricultural products: In that particular context, we see ADM
and BG best positioned to leverage their logistics capabilities to actually bring
ingredients from farmers to consumers.
Acting in a sustainable manner will be key, and we believe both companies recognize
that sustainable agriculture will in the end benefit them, even if there is a cost at the
beginning. Operating in one of the industries most exposed to climate change, ADM
and BG have both emphasized sustainable and responsible agriculture activities, as in
farming lies their future and neither company can afford to risk what they most need –
plenty of crops.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We are initiating coverage on global grain processors ADM (OW, $52 price target) and BG (OW, $55 price target). In our
view, both companies are well positioned to benefit from growing demand for agricultural goods, which need to be processed
and transported from their origins (mainly North and South America) to consumers worldwide. While the main segments for
both companies (AG Services & Oilseeds in the case of ADM; Agribusiness in the case of BG) are highly exposed to commodities
and ultimately have low margins, we believe ADM and BG have started a successful shift towards businesses offering more
stable and higher levels of profitability. ADM, with its recent focus on Nutrition, is actually one step ahead, in our view, while in
the case of BG, we believe a significant part of recent restructuring efforts is yet to bear fruit. As we have a fairly positive view on
the broader protein supply chain, given increasing global protein consumption, we believe ADM and BG are well positioned to
also benefit from this important structural demand driver.
We believe that ADM, as a market leader in global agriculture, is set to benefit from a growing population and the need to bring
food from farmers to consumers. The company’s extensive logistics network, sourcing capabilities, and continuous divestments
to focus on the core business, while still expanding its footprint, bode well for shareholder returns. Over the past few years, the
company’s focus on new operations and streamlining of existing operations has been bearing fruit, and we expect additional
operating income growth lies ahead. With a healthy balance sheet, strong management team, and above industry average
corporate governance, we believe ADM is just at the beginning of a long-term success story. While investors should not overlook
short-term risks, due to the still high relevance of its AG Service and Oilseeds business (be it trade or simply demand related), we
believe its strategic realignment and focus on “value added” nutrition will ultimately drive better returns. Additionally, ADM has
shown a solid M&A track record, adding new business while keeping financial discipline and a focus on shareholder returns.
In our view, BG is on track to deliver on its strategic realignment, offering an opportunity for still attractive upside potential
from current levels despite certain short-term headwinds and ongoing exposure to underperforming businesses (mainly
sugar/ethanol in Brazil). On the positive side, BG should ultimately benefit from increased demand for protein globally, which will
drive demand for animal feed – one of the key drivers of results representing the vast majority of its Agribusiness segment.
Additionally, we have a structurally positive view on its food-related business, be it via the Edible Oils Segment or the Milling
business. Yet there are some issues, which should not be overlooked. We believe BG still has to move forward on its strategic
business review, further leveraging certain asset disposals, and the company will have to overcome short-term headwinds,
mainly from demand-related disruption on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic. While BG has relatively high exposure to Brazil,
it’s mainly confined to exports, with limited operations domestically, which we believe positions BG well to benefit from global
trade opportunities in light of ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
We use a mid-cycle EBIT margin assumption for our long-term DCF analysis, which in our view is the best way to look through
commodity cycles. As demand from different industries is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe structural shifts in
the companies’ business models are more relevant and likely to drive longer-term better levels of profitability, ultimately
supporting the upside potential we see for both ADM and BG.
Grain processors are even further away from behaving like “Staples” companies than protein processors. Although demand
for food is stable, many factors can impact the profitability of grain processors, which companies closer to the end of the value
chain do not necessarily feel anymore. With that in mind, our recommendations are built on a long-term valuation approach; we
do see significant short-term risks for ADM and BG, which could impact stock performance in the immediate short to medium
term. Among those risks are trade conflicts (mainly U.S./China), the current COVID-19 pandemic, and a lack of additional boost
from biofuel policies. While we do believe the 2020 U.S. crop to be big, grain prices remain fairly low, leaving farmers with little
incentive to plant significant acreage in 2021, which could have adverse implications for volume – among the core factors of
profitability for grain processors.
Big crops are better than small crops. Understanding grain processors might not be intuitive except for one main takeaway: big
crops are better than small crops, and you’d better hope that you are sourcing from the biggest. In this respect, BG is slightly
better positioned than ADM, considering BG’s broader international asset diversification and commodity flow exposure.
However, we believe ADM is two steps ahead in the restructuring process and is building a more value-added (and higher-
margin) Nutrition segment. Nonetheless, the commodity linked segments are the most relevant ones, and those can only flourish
if the companies adapt to strict ESG rules.

Why sustainability matters so much: In this report we put a special emphasis on relevant ESG criteria. Both companies are
significantly exposed to risks around farming and sourcing of agricultural products. But both companies are also among the
most exposed to risks around climate change, inviting questions around their commitment to sustainable agriculture. The effects
from climate change on ADM’s and BG’s operations vary, but in our view the most prominent among them are:
1) Bad crop seasons, due to droughts and/or excessive rainfall
2) Disruption of logistics, due to adverse weather conditions on land and sea (i.e. hurricanes, etc.)
3) Unforeseen plagues due to higher average temperature impacting the quality and volume of crops
4) Increased cost of operations as governments could introduce stricter GHG related emission charges on the agricultural
industry in general
Both companies have policies in place for sourcing, including sustainable sourcing. That said, soy sourcing in South America and
palm sourcing in Southeast Asia have been linked to illegal deforestation practices. While the companies have achieved a fairly
high level of traceability of soy in South America, palm sourcing back to the farm is less transparent, and is one of the key factors
independent sustainability analysis companies focus on. We are actually encouraged with both companies’ initiatives to engage
with farming communities and deliver on strong corporate governance. ADM, in our view, screens slightly better on this count
than BG, mainly because it has consolidated its sourcing from emerging markets, while BG is among the few companies trying to
asses in more detail its environmental footprint.
Other major industry risks include:
1) Adverse short-term weather conditions: Extreme climate events such as droughts, heavy rainfall, or heat waves have
been more frequent disruptors than before, and in our view present a risk as they become more frequent or take place
with higher intensity.
2) Trade conflicts: Government policies such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, incentives, and import and export
restrictions could affect the industry by impacting trade flows; trade disputes are latent risks that could continue
disrupting operations. Additionally, FX rates could influence competitiveness and trade, further affecting industry
profitability.
3) Raw material pricing: Raw materials are procured from thousands of growers, grain elevators, and wholesale
merchants across the world, and despite not facing supplier concentration, prices are established on a short-term (less
than one year) agreement or spot basis.
4) Changing consumer trends: A structural shift in consumer trends could disrupt farmers’ operations and present a
headwind for those who aren’t able to adapt, not only due to operating issues but also due to externalities like weather
or regulation. A clear example of this trend is the alternative meat industry, which has the potential to disrupt the
amount and type of crops planted. Additionally, as several products are used in the flavours and ingredients businesses,
ADM and BG face risks from changing consumer preferences. Yet both companies are actively engaged in the
alternative meat trend, and hence somewhat protected if the shift were to occur faster than in our base case.
5) General supply chain/demand risks: As a large amount of grains are used as ingredients in livestock and poultry feed,
companies face risks of lower demand from protein companies, as outbreaks of diseases like African Swine Fever could
lead to lower feed demand.
