Summary · why it matters

Darling Ingredients reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with management attributing the outperformance to a rally in finished product markets, specifically fat and protein prices, and favorable trade-related developments. The Feed Ingredients segment benefited from robust biofuel demand and tightening global fish meal supplies, while operational excellence programs are on track to deliver $150 million to $300 million in additional EBITDA over three years. The Food segment is shifting from gelatin to higher-margin collagen, which generates 2.5 to 3 times the margin of traditional gelatin products, and Diamond Green Diesel maintained global leadership with $2.23 EBITDA per gallon. Q2 results included a $51 million favorable IEEPA tariff recovery at DGD and $18 million for the Rousselot business, and the company projects Q3 Core Ingredients EBITDA between $325 million and $340 million. Management expects net debt below $3 billion by year-end 2026 and will then evaluate shareholder returns including potential dividends and share repurchases.
