Darling Ingredients

BBH Select Mid Cap highlighted Darling Ingredients as a top holding but noted it was a quarterly detractor, falling 11.7% after the fund trimmed its position. Darling reported stronger-than-expected Q1 2026 results driven by Feed and Food segments and improved margins at Diamond Green Diesel (DGD). Finalized government mandates and higher feed prices, plus geopolitical-driven commodity moves, are expected to boost DGD margins and overall profitability in Q2. Shares have risen sharply over 12 months, reflecting market reaction to policy and operational developments. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com

Moody’s has affirmed Darling Ingredients’ Ba1 Corporate Family Rating and upgraded the outlook from negative to stable. Several issuer and debt ratings, as well as the SGL-2 liquidity rating, were also affirmed. The outlook upgrade reflects improved earnings and credit metrics due to higher fat prices, increased volumes and prices in the renewable diesel market, and debt reduction; adjusted leverage fell to 2.0x and adjusted EBITDA rose 75% to about USD 1.6 billion. Moody’s expects leverage to fall further below 2.0x and forecasts roughly USD 1 billion of free cash flow over the next 12 months, but notes uncertainties in the long-term backdrop for renewable diesel and tax credits. » Altro su de.investing.com
