Darling Ingredients stock climbs after a $2.41 EPS beat
Published on 08/29/2026 at 17:00 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Darling Ingredients Inc. (US2372661015) reported $2.41 EPS for the quarter ended July 30, 2026, and the shares last traded at $63.81 after a 3.9 percent rise in mid-day trading. The company also carried a market capitalization of $9.90 billion in the latest market snapshot.
Quarterly numbers
The same report showed revenue of $1.72 billion, compared with analyst expectations of $1.71 billion, while quarterly revenue was up 16.4 percent from a year earlier. Net margin reached 9.13 percent, and return on equity was 12.98 percent.
That gap matters because the earnings beat was not just a small EPS edge; it came with revenue that also edged past expectations and a double-digit year-over-year sales gain.
Market read
The stock traded as high as $64.32 in the latest session and remained above the prior close of $61.39. A market cap of $9.90 billion puts the move in the context of a mid-cap name rather than a small, thinly traded stock.
Consensus view
MarketBeat said the consensus rating stands at Moderate Buy, with an average price target of $69.00, while current-year earnings expectations sit at $6.98 per share. That leaves the latest $2.41 quarterly print as a meaningful contribution to the year’s earnings base.
