Paul Tudor Jones sees potential market rally after late October
Investing.com - UBS maintained its Neutral rating and $144.00 price target on Ingredion (NYSE:INGR) in a research note released Thursday. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week low of $120.51, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro Fair Value metrics.
UBS analyst Joshua Spector noted that Ingredion’s strategy centers on innovation driven by health trends and reformulation demands, with a focus on selling higher-mix solutions rather than standalone ingredients, alongside operational excellence initiatives.
The company projects 2-4% sales growth, 5-7% operating income growth, and 7-9% adjusted EPS compound annual growth rates over the next two years through 2027, according to the analyst’s comments.
These projections translate to a top-line target of approximately $7.9-8.4 billion, operating income of roughly $1.18-1.24 billion, and EPS of $13.00-13.80, all slightly exceeding UBS estimates.
While UBS expressed increased confidence in Ingredion’s ability to capitalize on consumer trends toward cleaner labels and sustainability, the firm remains cautious about the company’s ability to sustain earnings in North America due to pressure in the sweetener and high fructose corn syrup segments.
