Bunge Global SA (NYSE:BG) delivered strong third-quarter results on Wednesday, with both earnings and revenue topping Wall Street expectations, even as the stock edged 1.5% lower in premarket trading following the announcement.
The agribusiness major reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.27, well above analyst forecasts of $1.44, while revenue surged to $22.16 billion, far exceeding the consensus estimate of $15.56 billion. Despite a challenging global commodities backdrop, adjusted EPS was nearly unchanged from $2.29 a year earlier, reflecting solid operational execution.
The quarter marked Bunge’s first full reporting period since completing its merger with Viterra, with results showcasing the early benefits of the expanded global platform.
“In our first full quarter since closing the Viterra transaction, our combined team delivered strong results in a complex market and regulatory environment across nearly all regions,” said Greg Heckman, Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’re beginning to realize the benefits of our expanded global platform.”
By segment, the Soybean Processing and Refining business delivered a sharp rise in adjusted EBIT to $478 million, up from $286 million last year. Softseed Processing and Refining also performed strongly, with adjusted EBIT increasing to $275 million from $133 million. Grain Merchandising and Milling improved to $120 million from $77 million, while Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining saw a modest decline to $51 million from $63 million.
Bunge maintained its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance at $7.30–$7.60, slightly above the analyst consensus of $7.27, implying second-half earnings of $4.00–$4.25 per share.
The company also repurchased $545 million of its own shares during the quarter, underscoring management’s confidence in long-term performance and shareholder value creation.
