BG Q1: Guidance +20%, Grain Merchandising Collapses
Bunge raised FY26 adjusted EPS guidance by ~20% on strong Q1 processing results and Viterra integration gains, but the filing reveals a $122M swing in grain merchandising EBIT that the tape has overlooked. Processing strength is structural (Viterra capacity), but the guidance raise is partially inflated by $336M in mark-to-market timing differences and elevated integration costs that may not normalize as quickly as assumed.
