Worth knowing

Profitable, but burning cash. Reports a profit, but free cash flow is negative.
Bunge Global reports a profit but its free cash flow is negative: it spent more on investment and running the business than it brought in. That's common for companies building capacity, but it means the profit isn't yet turning into cash.
Returning more cash than it generates. Paid out $3.5B vs $1.8B of free cash flow over the 3 fiscal years to 2025.
Bunge Global returned $3.5B to shareholders over three years, 190% of the free cash flow it produced. That gap has to be covered by cash reserves or new debt, which can't last indefinitely.
Borrowing rising faster than profit. Since 2022: debt +202%, operating profit −59%.
Bunge Global's debt grew 202% since 2022 while operating profit changed −59%.
Valuation signals disagree. Cheaper than 61% of peers on earnings, but only 0% on free cash flow.
Relative to its earnings, Bunge Global looks cheaper than 61% of peers; relative to its free cash flow, cheaper than only 0%. The valuation score blends the two, so look at which measure fits this business best.
