Bunge Global BG
Bunge Global scores weak on business quality (4.1 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Bunge Global does
Bunge Global processes and trades agricultural commodities, buying oilseeds and grains from farmers to sell processed oils and meals to food processors and animal feed producers.
- What it does best
Bunge moves massive agricultural volumes globally, achieving a revenue growth rate ranking in the top decile of its sector at 98. Peer ADM posted a revenue decline of 6.1%, highlighting Bunge's unmatched top-line scale in commodity execution.
- The main risk
Net debt has climbed to $11.2B while free cash flow remains negative at -$711M, threatening liquidity if commodity processing margins tighten further and debt servicing costs rise from the current 2.9x interest coverage.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin sits at 2.5% and FCF margin is negative 1%, reflecting extreme thinness where scale fails to generate meaningful cash conversion.
Low-margin commodity processing limits the moat, reflected in a gross margin sector percentile of just 1 where rivals easily replicate undifferentiated grain handling.
Revenue grew 32.4% to $91.8B, marking an acceleration from prior annual contractions as the top-line engine outpaces historical periods.
Total debt sits at $14.3B against $3.1B in cash, while free cash flow burned $711M with negative margins of 1%, pointing to a softer financial base under heavy capital spending.
