The main question: the share price moved +67.3% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −77.5%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Darling Ingredients share price today? Darling Ingredients Inc.'s share price was $53.62 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 3 weeks. That is 8.5% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $33 and $67, and at that close it sat 61% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 5 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +260% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 2 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Darling Ingredients pay? Darling Ingredients Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Darling Ingredients on? Darling Ingredients is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Darling Ingredients profitable? Darling Ingredients Inc. earned $387 M of net profit in the Jul 2026 quarter, +2,959.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $62.8 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −44.3% a year on average. That is 22.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $12.7 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was $62.8 M (−77.5% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Darling Ingredients make, and is it growing? Darling Ingredients Inc. reported $1.7 B of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +16.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 6.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $6.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $6.5 B. FY26 revenue was $6.1 B, +7.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +12.9% on average, against 6.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +14.9%, against +3.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +467.5%, against +27.2% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Darling Ingredients keep? Darling Ingredients Inc.'s operating margin was 12.9% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 7.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 4.9% and 11.3%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +7.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +5.9 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Darling Ingredients' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 283% of Darling Ingredients Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $1.1 B of operating cash against $62.8 M of profit. After $380 M of spending on assets, $679 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Darling Ingredients' cash go? Darling Ingredients Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.3 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 6.9% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $1.3 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Darling Ingredients' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Darling Ingredients Inc.'s P/E is 10.6×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −77.5% while the price moved +67.3%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +5.8% a year; about −5.6% a year came from earnings growth and about +11.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Darling Ingredients business getting better or worse? Darling Ingredients Inc.'s business is turning around. EPS growth has swung from −71.4% at its low to +468.8%, improving for 3 quarters in a row, with ROCE steady at 4.5%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. ## How much does Darling Ingredients earn on its capital? Darling Ingredients Inc. earned a ROE of 1% in FY26. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 1.0% net margin and 0.60× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 1.0% net margin × 0.60× asset turnover × 2.14× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 1.3% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 5.6% − 8.1% = −2.5 percentage points. The 8.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 5.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 4.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Darling Ingredients have too much debt? Darling Ingredients Inc. has total debt of $4.2 B against shareholder equity of $5.3 B as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 0.79× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.48 in FY22 to 0.87 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Darling Ingredients shareholding pattern? 3.6% of Darling Ingredients Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.5 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Darling Ingredients from balance-sheet trouble? For Darling Ingredients Inc., the Z-score is 2.17. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.17 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Darling Ingredients rank in its industry? 49.4 out of 100, rank 13 of 30 in Packaged Foods, with 58% of the evidence available. Darling Ingredients Inc. scores 49.4 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Packaged Foods, ranking 13. Some evidence is missing, so the score is pulled toward the middle on purpose. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 23 + 9.5 + 9.7 + 7.2 = 49.4. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Darling Ingredients compared with? Darling Ingredients ranks 13 of 30 Packaged Foods companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 49.4 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
