Good Morning,
In case you missed it, most recent stock profile surged approximately 161% in a 2 day span adding another crowned champ to my March list.
Currently sharing several similarities with your last champ, I want you to turn your immediate focus to stock profile China Xiangtai Food Co., Ltd. (PLIN).
The company has several potential catalysts going for its stock that you need to be aware of. Here they are including today's major news...
#1 PLIN Potential Catalyst - Today's HUGE Acquisition News
China Xiangtai Food Co., Ltd. Enters into MOU to Acquire Controlling Interest in Chongqing Ji Mao Cang Feed Co., Ltd.
CHONGQING, China, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- China Xiangtai Food Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: PLIN) (the "Company" or the "PLIN"), an emerging growth company primarily engaged in pork processing in China, today announced that the Company, through its subsidiary Chongqing Jinghuangtai Enterprise Management Consulting Co., Ltd., entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") to acquire 51% controlling interest in Chongqing Ji Mao Cang Feed Co., Ltd.("JMC"), a private enterprise specializing in feed raw material sales and providing feed formula solutions, to expand the southwest market in China.
Pursuant to the MOU signed on March 23, 2020, PLIN proposed to acquire 51% controlling interest of JMC, one of the leading feed sales companies in southwest China. JMC has more than 200 customers in farm industry and nearly 100 customers in feed production industry. In 2019, JMC sold more than 200,000 tons of soybean meal, exceeding RMB 500Mn (approximately $70K USD) in sales. Given the Company's revenue of fiscal year 2019 was $102.5Mn USD, PLIN is expected to increase 70% of revenue through this acquisition.

#2 PLIN Potential Catalyst - $6.70 Analyst Price Target
Within the past week, Rob Goldman from Goldman Small Cap Research, released a complete research report on the company while tagging the stock with a $6.70 target.
From Wednesday's close of $XXX, this gives PLIN upwards of approximately XXX% potential upside.
Here are some of the most important report highlights:
- Pork is a major food staple in China and PLIN is a leading provider. PLIN benefits from key industry trends toward more profitable frozen and processed pork and by-products and sales through supermarkets and restaurants instead of farmer’s markets.
- Our thesis, forecasts, and target price reflect what we believe to be a potentially highly favorable impact on the Company and shareholders should management pursue a roll up of competitors and complementary firms. While the core organic business model remains robust on its own, we believe a roll up could dramatically change the positioning and valuation.
- With an estimated 60M tons to be purchased this year from and through a fragmented list of players, PLIN has an opportunity to expand market share via new products, channels, markets, or by acquisition. PLIN has an advantage as a popular and respected in-country brand that offers domestic and foreign product and its unique status as a U.S.-listed public company.
- Our model assumes top-line, margin and valuation expansion in conjunction with M&A. We forecast sales will grow from $102M in FY19 to $202M in FY21, with EPS jumping from $0.21 to $0.67.
- Pork companies such as Hormel are near year highs as this category serves as a popular defensive group during these difficult economic and market conditions. Our $6.70 price target represents a 10x P/E versus the 26x Hormel multiple, and is a reasonable metric given top-line growth and margin expansion, in our roll up scenario. Even if management does not elect to pursue a roll up, we believe these shares can return to the $2.60 level (10x FY21E EPS) during the second half of 2020, a 66% gain from current prices.

#3 PLIN Potential Catalyst - The Stock's Low Float
Like many of my recent major champs, this stock is also of the low float variety.
According to Yahoo Finance, PLIN has a float of approximately 8.74Mn shares.
This means that when the slightest bit of good news comes out regarding a company like PLIN, there are so few shares available for trading that a stock can see extreme volatility/price spiking in the short-term.
Remember, it was only yesterday that we watched another low float stock make a near triple-digit intraday run. That was only one of the handful of low float stocks we've seen explode this month.
