Darling Ingredients Inc.
Darling Ingredients Inc. (DAR) processes animal by-products and other organic residuals into value-added ingredients and renewable products. The company supplies a range of markets — food and feed ingredients, pet food, industrial fats, and renewable fuels — by converting waste streams through rendering, hydrolysis and refining. Its business links agricultural and food supply chains to circular-economy solutions, with revenue sensitive to commodity prices, feedstock availability and regulatory drivers such as biofuel mandates. At a market capitalisation of about $4.83 billion, Darling combines scale, long-term supplier relationships and diversified end markets, but investors should note margins can fluctuate with input costs and finished-product prices. Growth opportunities include rising demand for sustainable ingredients and expansion of renewable fuels, while risks include commodity cycles, regulatory changes and operational exposure to processing facilities. This summary is educational only and not financial advice; investors should consider their own risk tolerance and do further research before making decisions.
