Darling Ingredients faces significant exposure because its renewable energy businesses, including the DGD Joint Venture, rely heavily on complex and politically sensitive programs such as RFS, LCFS and the CFPC. Any reduction in mandated volumes, tightening of eligibility rules, or adverse reinterpretation of these frameworks could quickly erode demand, compress margins and increase earnings volatility.
The transition from the blender tax credit to the CFPC adds further uncertainty, given evolving Treasury guidance, strict wage and apprenticeship conditions, and emerging markets for trading credits. Volatility in RINs and LCFS prices, combined with potential legal or policy shifts in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, leaves the company vulnerable to abrupt changes in credit values and the risk of retroactive clawbacks or indemnity payments.
Overall, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on DAR stock based on 9 Buys.
