On CAPS, 98% of the 1,220 members who have rated Darling believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
A couple of months ago, one of those Fools, tprooney3, succinctly summed up the Darling bull case for our community: "Valuation is attractive (trailing P/E of 14, P/S 1.1), margins are healthy, and their core business is stable. I think the biodiesel venture [with Valero Energy (VLO -0.80%)] could lead to significant outperformance over the next 5+ years."
