S&P 500 rises as health care, tech gain to overshadow Fed independence concerns
WESTCHESTER, Ill. - Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE:INGR) reported better-than-expected first quarter earnings and raised its full-year guidance on Tuesday.
The company’s shares were up 1.47% in premarket trading following the release.
The global ingredient solutions provider posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.97, handily beating analyst estimates of $2.41. Revenue came in at $1.81 billion, slightly below expectations of $1.85 billion but down only 4% YoY despite foreign exchange headwinds.
"Our strong results demonstrate the company’s continued ability to deliver sales volume and operating income growth," said Jim Zallie, president and CEO of Ingredion.
Adjusted operating income surged 26% to $273 million, driven by robust performance across segments. The Texture & Healthful Solutions segment saw operating income jump 34% on strong sales volumes, particularly in clean label solutions.
For the full year 2025, Ingredion raised its adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $10.90 to $11.60, up from its previous outlook and above the $11.04 consensus estimate. The company expects net sales to grow in the low single-digits for the year.
"Based upon our successful first-quarter performance, we are improving our full-year earnings forecast," Zallie noted.
The company repurchased $55 million of common stock during the quarter and paid $52 million in dividends to shareholders. Ingredion’s board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share in March.
