Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 50

Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE:DAR) ranks among the best sustainability stocks to invest in. UBS reaffirmed its Buy rating on Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE:DAR) on October 24 with a $58 price target. According to the firm, Darling’s main ingredients business, apart from the Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) joint venture, should produce about $875–900 million in EBITDA in fiscal year 2025.

The coverage followed Darling’s third-quarter report, which revealed a net income of $19.4 million, falling short of analyst forecasts of $0.25 per share despite reporting higher-than-expected revenue of $1.6 billion compared to the average estimate of $1.51 billion.

UBS pointed out that the U.S. biofuel market has suffered due to uncertainty and delays in receiving a definitive Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) verdict, though export protein demand is beginning to rebound with somewhat more stable pricing trends.

That said, the firm pointed out that Darling’s poultry protein products have been affected by tariff implications that influence the China and Asia-Pacific markets, posing challenges for that business area.

Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE:DAR) is a global company operating in the bio-nutrient solutions and the renewable energy sector. Its operations span across three segments: Feed Ingredients, Food Ingredients, and Fuel Ingredients.
