Darling Ingredients Posts Q2 Profit Drop
Darling Ingredients (NYSE:DAR), a global leader in turning animal by-products and food waste into valuable ingredients and renewable fuels, released its second quarter results on July 24, 2025. The headline news: while revenue edged above analyst forecasts at $1.5 billion (GAAP) in Q2 2025, profits fell sharply below expectations, with earnings per share at $0.08 (GAAP) in Q2 2025 compared to the $0.24 consensus. The steep shortfall in profit was primarily driven by weaker results at the company’s renewable fuels joint venture, Diamond Green Diesel (DGD). Overall, the quarter revealed stability in core operations but significant profitability challenges, resulting in a marked downward revision to full-year fiscal 2025 earnings guidance as market and policy issues weighed on renewables.
