Bunge Ltd. (NYSE:BG) reported a smaller-than-expected drop in Q1 earnings due to short-term export demand amid rising global tariffs. Challenges persisted from weak oilseed crush margins in North America and Argentina, as well as reduced returns from ocean freight operations.

Despite facing pressures, Bunge’s Q1 performance beat some analyst expectations, leading to a 1.1% pre-market stock gain, trading at $79.01.

Bunge reaffirmed its 2025 earnings guidance of $7.75 per share but warned of a weaker outlook for its core agribusiness division, impacted by trade policy uncertainty and margin compression.

Bunge is moving forward with its acquisition of Viterra, awaiting final regulatory approval, amid market uncertainties and CEO Greg Heckman acknowledging ongoing challenges.

The agribusiness industry as a whole is under pressure, with rival Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) also reporting its weakest Q1 profit in five years and revising its 2025 outlook downward due to trade friction and thinning margins.
