Darling Ingredients Inc. (DAR) operates as an essential player in the agricultural sector, directly linked to the prices of agricultural products, particularly oils collected from restaurants. The company's involvement in biodiesel production positions it favorably in the face of rising energy prices, especially given the growing demand for renewable energy sources. The correlation between DAR's performance and agricultural indices, such as egg prices, underscores its sensitivity to market fluctuations. Furthermore, the consistent management of the firm reflects a commitment to operational excellence, which is crucial in capitalizing on market trends and ensuring stability. Overall, DAR's strategic positioning in a dynamic industry presents opportunities for growth as agricultural and energy prices evolve.

Valuation

Fair Value

Cargill, CRL

BUY

Is correlated to agricultural prices. DAR collects oils from restaurants; and they operate biodiesel. If energy and egg prices rise, so will DAR. DAR is managed well.

BUY

Misunderstood. They turn food waste and edible by-products into sustainable animal feed and food ingredients. A few years ago they partnered with Valero to produce biodisel. So, they trade like an energy, not a food play, and that's wrong. DAR sells at 11x earnings, and regulations around the world are going their way. They reported excellent numbers and raised their forecast a month ago.

COMMENT

Better to own Clean Harbors, but likes the concept behind DAR (recycling refuse from restaurants) and its shares are down too much. A good stock, but not great.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We reiterate DAR, a producer of ingredients made from edible and non-edible bio-nutrients to be used in pharmaceuticals, pet foods, renewable diesel and even fertilizers as a TOP PICK It trades at 21x earnings compared to peers at 32x, but with a strong outlook by analysts for growth in earnings its projected PEG ratio is less than 1.0. Its recently reported EPS beat analyst expectations and it is managing an ROE over 17%. We also like the strategy of paying down debt, buying back shares, while maintaining cash reserves. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $60, looking to achieve $96 - upside potential over 43%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $96.83)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly DAR produces ingredients made from edible and non-edible bio-nutrients to be used in pharmaceuticals, pet foods, renewable diesel and even fertilizers. It trades at 27x earnings compared to peers at 30x, but with an outlook by analysts for another 45% increase in earnings next year its projected PE is only 15x. Its recently reported EPS of $1.17 beat expectations of $0.82 quite handily, based on revenues that were up over 40%. Raymond James just initiated coverage with a strong buy to $95 targets. We would buy this with a stop loss at $60, looking to achieve $91 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $91.10)
