Saputo (SAP.TO) after trade Thursday said its fiscal fourth-quarter profit rose while revenue declined year-over-year.
The dairy-products company earned $102 million, or $0.25 per share, in the period, up from $74 million, or $0.18, a year ago. FactSet expected $0.39 per share.
Revenue from continuing operations fell to $4.17 billion from $4.41 billion in the year-ago quarter. FactSet projected $4.35 billion. The company said the decline was driven by lower US dairy commodity market pricing.
"The operating environment continues to be shaped by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, including inflationary pressures, volatile consumer sentiment, tariff uncertainty, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, which continue to influence input costs, energy prices, supply chains, and end-market demand across regions," the company said in terms of fiscal year 2027 outlook.
