Bunge Global SA stock (ISIN US12185T1043) closed at USD 115.58 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, down 3.13% from the prior session despite a recent upgrade to the company’s earnings outlook for 2026.
EPS guidance raised while shares retreat
According to Yahoo Finance on September 18, 2026, Bunge Global raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of USD 9.25 to USD 9.75 per share, up from a previous band of USD 9.00 to USD 9.50 after stronger second-quarter processing performance in soybean and softseed operations.
In the same update, second-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS was reported at USD 2.00, an increase of 52.7% year over year, as stronger oilseed processing results more than offset softer grain merchandising and higher integration and financing costs.Yahoo Finance The EPS guidance revision represents a midpoint increase from USD 9.25 to USD 9.50 per share, underscoring management’s confidence that operational strength can translate into higher full-year earnings.
Revenue surge and margin improvement point to processing strength
As Yahoo Finance reports, Bunge’s second-quarter 2026 net sales rose 88.3% year over year to USD 24.04 billion, with sales and volumes increasing across all four segments, while adjusted total EBIT more than doubled to USD 665 million and EBIT margin improved to 2.8% from 2.3% a year earlier.
Gross profit in the quarter more than doubled to USD 1.68 billion, and gross margin expanded to 7.0% from 5.8%, highlighting that the company was able to capture higher spreads and better utilization in its processing network even as grain merchandising faced headwinds.Yahoo Finance For investors, the combination of nearly 90% revenue growth and margin expansion suggests a significantly stronger earnings base than in the prior-year quarter.
Consensus, synergies and risk narrative
According to Zacks Investment Research on September 18, 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Bunge’s 2026 earnings stands at USD 9.72 per share, which is close to the upper end of the company’s guided EPS range and implies year-over-year growth of 28.4%.
The same analysis indicates that the consensus estimate for 2027 EPS is USD 12.08 per share, pointing to a projected increase of 24.3% versus 2026, although Bunge currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) combined with a VGM Score of A and Value, Growth and Momentum scores all at B.Zacks Investment Research This mix signals that while earnings growth expectations are robust, valuation and momentum are seen as balanced rather than clearly compelling.
Commentary from Simply Wall St on September 19, 2026 notes that Bunge is now targeting about USD 350 million in Viterra cost synergies and is ahead of plan on integrating that acquisition, emphasizing the importance of turning oilseed processing gains into steadier earnings and stronger cash conversion while managing softer grain merchandising and higher financing costs.
