Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
ST. LOUIS - Bunge Global SA (NYSE:BG), a prominent player in the Food Products industry with a market capitalization of $16.49 billion, announced Wednesday it has restructured its segment and volume reporting to align with its value chain operating structure following the completion of its merger with Viterra Limited. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 2.07, indicating solid liquidity.
The agricultural commodities company also updated its full-year 2025 adjusted earnings per share outlook to approximately $7.30 to $7.60, which now includes Viterra’s contribution. This reflects an expected second half adjusted EPS in the range of $4.00 to $4.25. Trading at a P/E ratio of 8.07, Bunge offers investors an attractive dividend yield of 3.4% and has maintained dividend payments for 25 consecutive years. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value.
Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, Bunge will organize its reportable segments into Soybean Processing and Refining, Softseed Processing and Refining, Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining, and Grain Merchandising and Milling, along with Corporate and Other results.
"We are pleased to announce our new segmentation and supplemental volume reporting, which we believe provides investors with a clear understanding of the key drivers of our combined company’s results and value chains," said Greg Heckman, Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer, according to the press release.
The company’s previous full-year 2025 adjusted EPS outlook of approximately $7.75, provided during its second quarter earnings call on July 30, had excluded the impact of the Viterra combination, which closed on July 2.
The updated outlook takes into account the current margin environment, forward curves, and estimated third quarter results. Bunge plans to provide a more detailed outlook during its third quarter earnings call scheduled for November 5.
The segment reporting changes primarily involve realigning oilseeds operations into processing and refining by commodity type and combining grain merchandising and milling operations into one reportable segment.
Bunge is also enhancing its volume reporting to align with the new segment structure and the company’s primary income-generating activities, with volumes now reported according to the new organizational framework.
The company has recast certain prior year financial information to conform to the new segment and volume reporting structure, noting that these changes have no impact on previously reported consolidated financial statements. With last twelve months revenue of $50.86 billion, Bunge demonstrates significant market presence.
