The company’s Food segment performed in line with expectations on higher pricing, while the Feed segment came in below projections due to lighter pricing and a larger-than-expected lag effect.
The DGD joint venture reported stronger-than-modeled results, primarily benefiting from LCM inventory adjustments, though Raymond James noted these results were partially offset by LIFO headwinds that may be "under-appreciated" by investors.
