Price vs fair value DAR trades at a PREMIUM of 52.00% to our fair-value estimate of 29.28 and at a discount of 25.55% to the analyst 12-month target of 76.58. - Q2 earnings beat on DGD strength yet sales missed (Zacks) - Q2 earnings call highlighted operational progress (MarketBeat) - Simply Wall St. noted Q2 EPS surge and buyback completion - Forward P/E of 14.64 contrasts with trailing P/E of 45.29
Looking forward Analysts expect a forward P/E of 14.64 and PEG of 0.07, suggesting potential valuation reset if growth sustains. However, weak profitability and high leverage remain key risks. Momentum trends and DGD performance will likely drive near-term sentiment.
