Bunge sees FY24 adjusted EPS ‘at least’ $9.25 vs. prior view ~$9.25

FY24 EPS consensus $9.43. “Taking into account year-to-date results, the current margin environment and forward curves, and the loss of income due to the sale of our ownership in the sugar & bioenergy joint venture, we now expect full-year 2024 adjusted EPS to be at least $9.25. In Agribusiness, full-year results are forecasted to be up slightly from our previous outlook, reflecting the better than expected third quarter, but down compared to last year. In Refined and Specialty Oils, full-year results are expected to be up from our previous outlook, but down compared to last year’s record performance. In Milling, full-year results are expected to be down from our previous outlook reflecting the lower than expected third quarter, but up from last year. In Corporate and Other, full-year results are expected to be similar to our previous outlook. In Non-Core, full-year results are expected to be down considerably from our previous outlook due to the lower than expected third quarter and the loss of income from the sale of our ownership in the joint venture, which closed on October 1, 2024. Additionally, the company currently expects the following for 2024: an adjusted annual effective tax rate range of 22% to 24%; net interest expense in the range of $285 to $305 million; capital expenditures in the upper end of the range of $1.2 to $1.4 billion; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $450 million.”
