Bunge Global

Revenue, earnings and cash generation are cyclical and sensitive to weather, crop size, trade policy, FX and energy policy. Even with diversification across crops and regions, Bunge’s cash flows swing with working capital and margin cycles.

The TTM profile shows about 0.55 billion dollars of operating cash inflow against roughly 1.67 billion dollars of capex, resulting in negative TTM free cash flow, despite positive TTM net income around 1.37 billion dollars. This underscores the difficulty of forecasting near-term cash returns.
