Ingredion: Defensive, High-Yield, Undervalued, And Transforming For Growth
Ingredion is reiterated as a Buy, supported by strong financial health and robust free cash flow exceeding guidance. INGR advances strategic pillars—protein and clean label ingredients—while completing its Cost2Compete program, achieving $59M in run-rate savings. 2026 guidance calls for low- to mid-single-digit net sales growth, EPS of $11–$11.80, and free cash flow midpoint of $460M.
Ingredion Q4: Poised For Lackluster First Half, But It Is Getting Interesting
Ingredion Incorporated delivered resilient profitability and has a strong balance sheet despite flat sales and US/Canada production setbacks. INGR guidance for 2024 is cautious: EPS of $11.00-$11.80, low-to-mid single-digit sales growth, and modest operating income improvement. Operational efficiency initiatives and R&D focus on Clean Labels and plant-based ingredients position INGR for future margin expansion.
