Darling Ingredients Inc. (DAR) — VMCI valuation read

Composite valuation read on DAR: VMCI 48/100 against a Consumer Defensive sector median of 50. The 2-point below-median print is the headline number for Darling Ingredients Inc., and at the mid-cap tier it reflects how the five pillars combine into a single decision-grade score.

Trailing 30-day insider activity for DAR: nothing material on SEC EDGAR. With the Form 4 channel quiet, the price-vs-DCF gap and the trailing margin trend carry more weight in the active read.

**Investor frame.** Value, quality, risk in three lines on DAR: DAR trades at 19.0x earnings, 6% above the Consumer Defensive median of 18.0x; ROIC of 17.0% sits 7.0pp above the Consumer Defensive median (10.0%); net debt to EBITDA of -0.5x leaves covenant headroom. EV/EBITDA at 14.0x versus 12.0x for Consumer Defensive closes the value frame.

DAR rose 2.0% over the trailing 7 days, with a -4.4% read on a 30-day basis.
