SEABOARD CORP /DE/
Next earnings Jul 27, 2026
Last earnings +1.8% on 2026-05-05
Asset-rich, cheaply valued agribusiness trading below book, but commodity cyclicality makes earnings violently volatile.
Net income $501M · FY2025
Middling fundamentals offset by an attractive price (~313% below fair value) — worth a look on the value angle.
Seaboard is a diversified, family-controlled agribusiness spanning pork production, commodity trading & milling, marine shipping, sugar/alcohol, and power. FY2025 was a strong rebound year: revenue grew 7.1% to $9.75B, gross profit rose 20.3%, operating income jumped 53.2% to $239M, and net income surged 456.7% to $501M (diluted EPS $514.46) off a deeply depressed FY2024 base of just $90M. Notably, net income ($501M) far exceeds operating income ($239M), meaning a large share of earnings came from non-operating sources — equity-method affiliates and investment results — which is characteristic of Seaboard's structure but makes earnings quality and repeatability harder to gauge.
