Bunge lifts profit outlook on strong soybean crush margins
Bunge reported second‑quarter adjusted earnings of $2.00 per share on revenue of $24.04 billion, beating analysts' expectations. The results were driven by higher soybean crush margins, which widened the spread between soybean purchases and the sale of meal and oil. Based on the strong performance, the agribusiness raised its 2026 adjusted earnings outlook to $9.25‑$9.75 per share.
The company’s scale has expanded after completing its merger with Viterra on July 2, 2026, creating a larger global platform for origination, processing and merchandising. Analysts note that Bunge’s stock remains sensitive to commodity‑price volatility and logistics costs, which can affect margins across its soybean, corn and wheat businesses.
