Zacks Rank: BG currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Bunge Global’s third-quarter performance is expected to have reflected the impacts of the Viterra acquisition, which was completed in July 2025. The enlarged platform has significantly strengthened Bunge’s global agricultural network, expanding its reach across major crops and geographies.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2026, Bunge has been presenting results under four segments: Soybean Processing and Refining, Softseed Processing and Refining, Tropical Oils and Specialty Ingredients and Grain Merchandising and Milling.
The Soybean Processing and Refining segment’s third-quarter results are expected to reflect higher margins, strong execution and the addition of Viterra’s South American assets. The segment is expected to report higher processed volumes due to the combined company's increased production capacity in Argentina. Process volumes are also expected to have been higher in North America and Brazil. Merchandised volumes are also expected to have been higher, reflecting the combined company’s expanded soybean origination footprint.
Softseed Processing and Refining results are also expected to strengthen in the third quarter, reflecting the contribution from Viterra’s softseed asset. Softseed processed volumes are expected to have been higher year over year, primarily reflecting the combined company’s increased production capacity in Argentina, Canada and Europe. Merchandised volumes are also expected to have improved due to the combined company’s expanded softseeds origination footprint.
The tropical oils and specialty ingredients segment’s performance is expected to reflect ongoing momentum in Asia and Europe, as well as global oils merchandising activity. Within Grain Merchandising and Milling, volumes are expected to reflect the company's expanded grain-handling footprint and capabilities, along with large global grain crops.
Meanwhile, costs and selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to have been higher, reflecting the larger combined company. Net interest expenses are also anticipated to have increased, reflecting the company’s expanded footprint in merchandising activities with the addition of Viterra, which is expected to have been partially offset by lower average net interest rates. The company will report higher corporate expenses in the quarter, driven primarily by the addition of Viterra.
