Revenue reached $21.86 billion, reflecting the significantly enlarged footprint following the Viterra acquisition. The real story was in processing, where Soybean Processing and Refining drove adjusted segment EBIT to $377.00 million from $241.00 million, fueled by stronger volumes in Argentina and Brazil, while Softseed Processing and Refining more than doubled its contribution to $195.00 million. Management signaled growing confidence by raising its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $9.00 to $9.50, up from a prior range of $7.50 to $8.00, even as it acknowledged limited forward visibility amid geopolitical uncertainty and shifting global trade flows.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong soybean processing performance in Argentina and Brazil driven by expanded production capacity from Viterra combination
- • Higher softseed processing results across all regions, including increased capacity in Argentina, Canada, and Europe
- • Strong execution in global oils merchandising activities
- • Expanded soybean and softseeds origination footprint from Viterra combination
- • Large global grain crops supporting higher grain merchandising volumes
- • Tax benefits in South America contributing to income tax benefit of $14 million vs. $80 million expense in prior year
