Bunge Limited (BG) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Bunge Limited (BG - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2021 results, before the opening bell on Feb 9.
Q3 Performance
In the last reported quarter, Bunge Limited’s earnings and revenues not only beat the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate but also improved year over year. The company has surpassed earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 105.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter total sales is pegged at $15.5 billion, suggesting growth of 23% year over year. The consensus mark for quarterly earnings currently stands at $3.05, flat year over year. The earnings estimate has moved north by 7% over the past 30 days.
Factors to Note
The company has been benefiting from its efforts to drive operational performance, optimize portfolio and focus on cost management. This, in turn, might have favored the fourth-quarter performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Agribusiness segment’s revenues is currently pegged at $12,001 million, indicating an improvement of 29% from the prior-year quarter’s revenues of $9,282 million. Volumes are expected to be at around 39,306 thousand metric tons. The Agribusiness segment has been gaining from a favorable market environment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Refined and Specialty Oils’ revenues is pegged at $3,769 million, suggesting growth of 39% from the year-earlier quarter. Volumes are expected to be at around 2,450 thousand metric tons. The segment’s results in the quarter are likely to reflect higher margins and volumes in North America, particularly, which continues to benefit from a recovery in foodservice and increased demand from the renewable diesel sector.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Milling segment’s revenues is pegged at $560 million, indicating an improvement of 29% from the year-ago period. Volumes are expected to be at around 1,669 thousand metric tons. Higher average sales prices and volumes in South American and Mexican wheat milling businesses might have been offset by lower volumes in North America due to the sale of the rice milling business in the prior year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sugar & Bioenergy segment’s revenues stands at $43.5 million, suggesting a 142% surge from the year-earlier quarter courtesy of higher ethanol prices. Volumes are expected to be at around 912 thousand metric tons.
