Investing.com - UBS has reiterated its Buy rating on Darling Ingredients (NYSE:DAR) with a price target of $58.00, representing a potential 67% upside from the current price of $34.62. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $34 to $60, with the stock currently showing signs of being undervalued based on Fair Value analysis.
The firm expects Darling’s core ingredients business, excluding the Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) joint venture, to generate EBITDA of $875-900 million in fiscal year 2025. This forecast represents potential growth from the current EBITDA of $814 million over the last twelve months.
UBS noted that uncertainty and delays in obtaining a final Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) ruling have negatively impacted the U.S. biofuel environment, while export protein demand is showing signs of recovery with slightly firmer pricing trends.
The analysis highlighted that tariff implications affecting China and Asia-Pacific markets have impacted Darling’s poultry protein products, creating headwinds for that segment of the business.
UBS also pointed out operational challenges, including a scheduled turnaround at the DGD 3 facility that reduced renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel volumes, while DGD 1 remains idled and will only restart when soybean oil margins become profitable under policy changes.
