Monsanto's Growth Story Will Get More Exciting
Last week, Monsanto ( MON ) announced earnings that underscored its growth in a market sector that promises to continue to expand. I predicted upside in Monsanto shares last month. Quarterly results, which the company itself had forecast to come in at $0.16 per share net income, excelled by some way to $0.23 per share – up from $0.02 per share for the same period last year. These results prompted the company to increase the lower end of its forecast for the full year, from $3.34 - $3.44 per share to $3.39 - $3.44 per share.
Revenues surged, thanks in large part to demand for genetically modified (GM) corn seeds in Brazil and Argentina, as the two countries struggle to cope with the increasing demands for food from an increasing population. Purchases of cotton seeds was strong too, as Australian farmers moved to purchase early. This is all good news for Monsanto, whose traditional markets are in the Northern Hemisphere. Indeed, along with the results, the company announced that sales in North America were in excess of last year’s numbers, and in line with its targets for the region.
