, /PRNewswire/ -- Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO) ("Adecoagro" or the "Company"), a leading sustainable production company in South America, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Raízen Group to acquire the Caarapó Mill, located in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, including the Company's owned sugarcane and sugarcane supply agreements. The transaction price is estimated at R$760 million (approximately US$148 million), subject to adjustments, and will be paid in cash upon closing. During the 2025/26 harvest season, the Caarapó Mill processed approximately 3.5 million tons of sugarcane. The acquisition is aligned with Adecoagro's growth strategy of expanding its footprint in the region.
Caarapó mill is located in the municipality of Caarapó, Mato Grosso do Sul, approximately 100 km from Adecoagro's Angélica and Ivinhema mills. The mill has the capacity to produce sugar, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol, as well as renewable energy.
Renato Junqueira Pereira, Adecoagro's VP of the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business commented "We view the acquisition of Caarapó as a natural extension of our current industrial footprint in Mato Grosso do Sul. Given its geographic proximity, the mill will be integrated into our Cluster strategy, allowing us to process additional sugarcane — including excess cane from our existing operations — while leveraging shared infrastructure, management, and best practices to replicate our competitive advantages, reinforce our low-cost production model, and meaningfully grow Caarapó's crushing volume with limited incremental investment."
We believe this is a transaction that makes strategic and financial sense, and one that will generate long-term value for our shareholders, as the mill organically integrates into our operations. Having established ourselves as one of the lowest-cost producers of sugar and ethanol globally, we have a clear path and proven methodology to unlock Caarapó's full productive potential. Furthermore, we expect the asset to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA from day one, with incremental upside as we capture operational synergies and deploy our know-how across an integrated cluster composed of three mills located in the same region.
Mariano Bosch, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Adecoagro, expressed: "We are very pleased with this transaction. Acquiring Caarapó will allow us to strengthen our S&E platform, while reinforcing our position among the lowest-cost producers in the industry."
The completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica – CADE) and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in the agreement. The closing is expected to occur before October 1, 2026, after which the Caarapó Mill will be incorporated into Adecoagro's Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business.

Adecoagro is upgraded to Hold as valuation aligns with fair risk-reward after a 30% decline. Profertil acquisition significantly boosts AGRO's EBITDA and increases exposure to fertilizer, but also elevates leverage and commodity volatility. Current macro risks - especially related to oil, gas, and interest rates - could pressure AGRO's earnings and valuation further.
Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors use fundamental analysis and traditional valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are being undervalued by the market at large.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
Adecoagro (AGRO - Free Report) is a stock many investors are watching right now. AGRO is currently holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 12.43 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 16.82. AGRO's Forward P/E has been as high as 14.40 and as low as 5.76, with a median of 9.05, all within the past year.
We should also highlight that AGRO has a P/B ratio of 0.56. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. AGRO's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 1.31. Within the past 52 weeks, AGRO's P/B has been as high as 0.86 and as low as 0.56, with a median of 0.71.
These are only a few of the key metrics included in Adecoagro's strong Value grade, but they help show that the stock is likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, AGRO looks like an impressive value stock at the moment.
Investors interested in stocks from the Agriculture - Operations sector have probably already heard of Adecoagro (AGRO) and Corteva, Inc. (CTVA). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
VIST, AGRO, FSM, DAN and CPRI are a few high-earnings-yield value stocks worth buying as Middle East tensions and Fed uncertainty keep markets volatile.
After reaching an important support level, Adecoagro (AGRO) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. AGRO surpassed resistance at the 20-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Key Takeaways Geopolitical tensions and fragile ceasefire keep markets volatile and focused on earnings fundamentals.Stocks were screened for earnings yield above 10%, liquidity, $5 prices and EPS growth versus the S&P 500. AVT, AR, NVGS, NEXA and AGRO boast solid growth forecasts, backed by rising EPS estimates. Markets are navigating a tricky mix of cautious optimism and lingering geopolitical risk. A three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been announced. The pause in fighting, involving Iran-backed Hezbollah, offers a temporary break in hostilities. That said, the situation is far from resolved. Key issues—ranging from Iran’s nuclear ambitions to control over the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz—remain unsettled. The conflict has also spilled into maritime tensions, with both sides seizing commercial vessels, turning the region into a fragile naval standoff. This keeps global energy routes and supply chains on edge.
Markets remain highly sensitive to headlines from the region.At the same time, investors are trying to shift focus back to fundamentals, particularly corporate earnings. But geopolitical developments continue to interrupt that narrative, driving volatility.
In this uncertain environment, value investing offers a disciplined way to navigate volatility. Value investing means buying stocks that are priced below what they are really worth. It works on the idea that markets often misprice stocks, giving investors a chance to buy low and profit later.
Investors can consider value stocks like Avnet, Inc. (AVT - Free Report) , Antero Resources Corporation (AR - Free Report) , Navigator Holdings Ltd. (NVGS - Free Report) , Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA - Free Report) and Adecoagro S.A. (AGRO - Free Report) that have high earnings yield.
Unlock Value With Earnings Yield MetricA simple tool that value investors use is earnings yield. It shows how much profit a company makes for each dollar of its stock price. Earnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as (Annual Earnings per Share/Market Price) x 100. It is the reverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. A high earnings yield may mean the stock is undervalued. A low yield could mean the stock is too expensive.
Investors can also use earnings yield to compare stocks with bond returns like the 10-year Treasury yield. If the stock market's earnings yield is higher than the bond yield, stocks might be more attractive. With regard to this, earnings yield can be more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio, as the former facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities.
Setting the Right FiltersWe have set an Earnings Yield greater than 10% as our primary screening criterion but it alone cannot be used for picking stocks that have the potential to generate solid returns. So, we have added the following parameters to the screen:
Estimated EPS growth for the next 12 months greater than or equal to the S&P 500: This metric compares the 12-month forward EPS estimate with the 12-month actual EPS.
Average Daily Volume (20 Day) greater than or equal to 100,000: High trading volume implies that a stock has adequate liquidity.
Current Price greater than or equal to $5.
