What the Analysts think about DAR

Analyst projections of the future price of Darling Ingredients stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Diamond Green Diesel’s recovery is supporting a much stronger earnings base: the joint venture reported about $350 million of operating income in Q3, and Darling set 2026 combined adjusted EBITDA guidance at $2.2–$2.3 billion, with management expecting momentum into 2027. (Darling Ingredients)
Higher-value ingredients offer a growth lever: core global ingredients EBITDA rose to $353 million in Q2 from $207 million a year earlier, while management says collagen margins are 2.5–3 times gelatin’s and targeted health ingredients can reach 7–11 times. (The Motley Fool)
The Brazil rendering acquisition adds operating scale and potential earnings: Darling bought three Patense facilities for about $122 million and said it expects the assets to be immediately accretive. (The Motley Fool)
Diamond Green Diesel’s high returns depend partly on policy-created economics: the Renewable Volume Obligation runs through 2027, but small-refinery exemption reallocation and other details still require action, leaving renewable-fuel margins exposed to policy decisions. (Investing.com)
Recent results are not a clean run-rate: DGD’s EBITDA per gallon was $2.23 in Q2, which included a $51 million tariff recovery, then $1.30 in Q3; Darling said Q3 was affected by sales timing and commercial activity. (The Motley Fool, Darling Ingredients)
Despite recent paydown, debt remains a material constraint: Darling had $3.9 billion of total debt and 2.3x covenant leverage at July 4, while its goal of bringing net debt to $3 billion or less and leverage below 2x by year-end is still a target. (Darling Ingredients)
