Bunge Ltd
Bunge is a global agribusiness company that sits between farmers and the companies that turn crops into food, feed, and fuel. It buys soybeans, corn, wheat, rapeseed, and other agricultural commodities, then stores, transports, trades, crushes, and processes them into products such as vegetable oils, protein meals, and other food ingredients. It also handles grain and oilseed merchandising, which means moving crops from producing regions to industrial users around the world. Its main customers are food manufacturers, animal feed makers, edible oil buyers, biodiesel and renewable fuel producers, and other companies that need large, reliable supplies of agricultural inputs. Bunge makes money by earning a spread on sourcing, handling, processing, and selling these crops and ingredients, rather than by selling a branded consumer product. That makes it a business built around logistics, processing assets, and commodity market expertise. What makes Bunge different is its role as a bridge in the farm-to-food chain. It does not primarily grow crops itself; instead, it connects farmers, elevators, ports, crushers, and end users through a global network that moves raw crops into higher-value industrial products. This gives Bunge a central place in the physical flow of agricultural commodities, where scale, storage, transport, and execution matter as much as the crops themselves.

Strong quarter: Bunge said first quarter results came in ahead of expectations, led by soybean and softseed processing and refining, and adjusted EPS was $1.83 versus $1.81 a year ago.
Guidance raised: Full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance was increased to $9 to $9.50 from $7.50 to $8, reflecting the strong first quarter, better forward curves, and the current margin backdrop.
Biofuels tailwind: Management said the U.S. RVO decision and broader policy support for biofuels are helping demand for vegetable oils and feedstocks, with higher crude and diesel prices also supporting blending economics.
Mixed segments: Grain merchandising was hurt by ocean freight and bunker fuel costs, while tropical oils and specialty ingredients were pressured by lower food volumes, weaker cocoa-related margins, and tariff uncertainty.
Balance sheet strong: Liquidity remained ample, leverage improved to 1.6x, and Bunge ended the quarter with RMI exceeding net debt by about $400 million.
Cadence back-end weighted: Management now expects 40% of full-year adjusted EPS in the first half and 60% in the second half, with Q3/Q4 split roughly 45%/55%.
