"Die Actien-Börse" schreibt
...Das Unternehmen sei einer der weltweit größten Hersteller und Verarbeiter von Agrarprodukten. Mehr Stabilität sei eigentlich kaum vorstellbar. Doch auch Bunge habe von ursprünglich 56 Mrd. USD Umsatz auf durchschnittlich 36 bis 40 Mrd. USD in diesem Jahr zurückstecken müssen. Dies sei eine annualisierte Schätzung. Der Gewinn sei um 33% gefallen, werde aber per 2010 mit deutlich über 6,00 USD erwartet. Daraus errechne sich ein KGV von 10 als Durchschnitt.... komplett: http://www.ariva.de/news/Bunge-kaufen-Die-Actien-Boerse-3025678

Bunge said strong demand for soybeans from China, good margins and improved demand for soymeal, and increased grain volumes in Europe contributed to the stronger-than-anticipated results from its agribusiness unit. Agribusiness profits totaled $448 million, up from the previous three quarters' poor results, but down 27 percent from a year ago.

Bunge had posted losses in the previous two quarters, its first as a publicly traded company.

Brazilian soybean exports soared this year as a drought-shortened crop in competing South American exporter Argentina tightened global supplies while China stepped up imports.

Argentina's crop woes limited soy processing utilization there, but supported global crush margins, Bunge said.

Meanwhile, forecasts for a record-large U.S. soybean crop this fall should provide ample volumes to its U.S. operations.

The strong agribusiness results more than offset another tough quarter in Bunge's fertilizer business, which struggled amid falling prices and high-cost inventories.

Bunge, the largest producer and supplier of fertilizer in South America, reported a net loss of $53 million in the segment, compared with a net year ago profit of $393 million.

Profit in edible oil products fell 33 percent from a year ago to $10 million, pressured by lower volume and margins in Brazil.

Milling products profit fell 75 percent to $14 million as wheat milling margins narrowed.

Bunge's shares were down about 50 cents at $65.03 in early New York Stock Exchange trading. The stock hit a five-week high of $67.04 earlier in the week, but remained 31 percent below a year ago. (Reporting by Karl Plume; Editing by Derek Caney and Maureen Bavdek)

TheStreet.com's stock-picking model upgraded Bunge(BG Quote) to "buy." Bunge sells agriculture, fertilizer and food products.

The numbers: Second-quarter revenue fell 24% to $11 billion as net income plummeted 58% to $313 million and earnings per share dropped 61% to $2.13. The company's operating margin fell from 6% to 1% and the net margin declined from 5% to 3%. Bunge has a weak liquidity position, with just $489 million of cash and a quick ratio of 0.3. But a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.7 indicates reasonable leverage. The company is poised to benefit from a rebound in commodities prices.

The stock: Bunge has climbed 36% this year, beating major U.S. indices. The stock is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 20, a premium to the market, and offers a modest 1% dividend yield.

Bunge to sell 10 million shares to repay debt; could raise $708.4M based on Monday's price

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- Seed and agribusiness company Bunge Ltd. said on Monday it has begun a public offering of 10 million shares.

Based on Monday's closing price of $70.84, the offering would raise some $708.4 million. Bunge shares fell $3.53, or 5 percent, to $67.30 in late trading after the announcement.

It said underwriters could buy another 1.5 million common shares. Bunge said the offering would be made under an existing shelf registration statement, and that it would use the money to repay debt and for general corporate purposes.

Analysts say Bunge public offer could fund Corn Products buyout try, but odds are against it

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Bunge Ltd. might use the funds from a public offering announced Monday for another attempt to buy Corn Products International Inc., but the odds are against it, a pair of analysts said Tuesday.

Seed and agribusiness company Bunge has begun a public offering of 10 million shares that would raise about $708.4 million based on Monday's closing share price of $70.84. The company last November ended a bid to take over Corn Products after the refiner's board withdrew its recommendation of the proposed $4.4 billion deal.

"While nothing would shock us, we would be surprised ... if Bunge were to acquire Corn Products International -- which likely will benefit from speculation of a renewed deal -- in part reflecting the hiring of a new CEO at Corn Products International," analyst Kenneth Zaslow of BMO Capital Markets said in a client note.

Westchester, Ill.-based corn refiner Corn Products International announced in April that Ilene Gordon was appointed chairman, president and CEO.

Separately, Deutsche Bank analyst Christina McGlone said that if Bunge tried again to purchase Corn Products, the transaction value would be about $3.7 billion, or $39 per share to shareholders of Corn Products International. That would represent a 34 percent premium to the stock's closing price Monday of $29.21.

"However, given the still tight funding environment and amount of distressed assets in the agribusiness space globally, the ultimate use of funds is unknown, at this point," she said in a note to investors.

A spokeswoman for Bunge did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday morning.

Shares of Bunge fell $2.89, or 4 percent, to $67.95 in premarket trading Tuesday.
