Ingredion Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Factors Likely to Influence INGR’s Upcoming Results
Ingredion’s third-quarter results are likely to be affected by the divestiture of its majority stake in the Pakistan business. Management expects adjusted operating income to decline by mid-single digits in the quarter, reflecting the divestiture’s impact on earnings.
Persistent macroeconomic challenges in Mexico may have weighed on Food & Industrial Ingredients–LATAM. Softer demand and unfavorable transactional currency movements could have pressured profitability. The Argentine peso’s depreciation in July was expected to create currency-related headwinds during the quarter.
Elevated tapioca costs stemming from weather-related supply constraints could have squeezed margins in Texture & Healthful Solutions. The lag in passing higher costs to customers is likely to have added pressure. Residual manufacturing costs from earlier operational disruptions at the Argo facility and higher sequential corporate expenses may have weighed on earnings.
Nevertheless, Ingredion’s Texture & Healthful Solutions business is likely to have benefited from sustained demand for clean-label ingredients and specialty solutions. Customer innovation, market-share gains and growing interest in protein and fiber fortification may have supported volumes. Improved production reliability at Argo and enterprise productivity initiatives are likely to have provided additional support.
