ArborGen’s FY24 results highlighted contrasting trading conditions, with challenges in the US offset by a strong performance from Brazil. However, despite the short-term issues, ArborGen remains in prime position to address increasing demand for its seedlings and to continue investment in genetic improvement to drive the switch to sales of higher-value, higher-margin seedlings in both markets. Our forecasts are under review following the FY24 results, an update on hurricane damage and the acquisition of a nursery in Brazil. We will update our valuation in due course.
