Ingredion Incorporated: Volume Growth & Market Opportunities Driving Our Optimism!

Ingredion Incorporated’s latest earnings report highlighted mixed results for its fourth quarter and full-year 2024 performance. The company saw significant double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth driven by robust sales volume growth in its Texture and Healthful Solutions segment and notable operating income growth in the Food and Industrial Ingredients segments, particularly in the U.S./Canada region. This growth was facilitated by the renewal of multiyear contracts that helped Ingredion recuperate inflationary impacts and improve margins. Strong demand from the paper making and packaging sectors further buttressed the U.S./Canada market. Furthermore, Ingredion’s robust operational and procurement strategies have reportedly driven efficiency improvements and reduced costs, contributing to a record high gross profit of $1.8 billion for the year.
