Darling Ingredients Posts 3Q EPS of $1.67
DAR sits 83% above its 52-week low of $31.48.
Summary
Darling reported third-quarter EPS of $1.67 on sales of $1.79B. That follows the October 22 disclosure that its 50/50 Diamond Green Diesel joint venture earned roughly $350 million in operating income for the September quarter, alongside FY2026 combined adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.2-$2.3 billion. The company anticipates ending FY26 with net debt at or below $3B. The DGD number was the known driver; this line gives the consolidated per-share result, and the headline carries no comparison to estimates or year-ago figure, so the beat/miss picture isn't yet clear. Context matters: Q2 net income was $387.3 million versus $12.7 million a year earlier on a $350.0 million DGD contribution, and the board has a $1 billion buyback authorized.
At the time of this announcement, DAR was trading at $57.70 on NYSE in the Industrial Applications And Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.8B. The 52-week trading range was $31.48 to $69.98. This news item was assessed with neutral market sentiment and an importance score of 7 out of 10. Source: Dow Jones Newswires.
