Darling Ingredients stock rose 6.01% in one month as investors bet on strong demand for renewable fuel feedstocks ahead of RVO decisions.
Darling Ingredients (DAR) closed at $62.26 on May 12, 2026, marking a 6.01% gain over the past month and a 78.31% increase over the last 52 weeks. The $10.00 billion company, a leader in converting bio-nutrients into sustainable ingredients, was highlighted as a top contributor in Aristotle Capital Management’s Q1 2026 investor letter.
The S&P 500 declined 4.33% in Q1 2026, while Aristotle’s Core Equity Fund posted a -4.45% return, slightly underperforming the index. Despite broader market weakness, Darling Ingredients benefited from secular tailwinds in renewable fuels, driven by expectations of favorable Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) rulings.
Aristotle’s fund attributed its positive security selection to holdings like DAR, which offset broader allocation-driven underperformance during the quarter.
