Abstract:Graincorp said on Friday it expects underlying profit for fiscal 2022 to be around 2.5 times that of last year, as the Australian agribusiness firm benefits from supply constraints due to the Ukraine war, sending its shares to a record high.

Shares of Graincorp soared as much as 8.9% to A$9.46, their highest ever.
“The conflict in Ukraine and resulting trade disruptions in the Black Sea region have created uncertainty in global grain markets, with buyers looking for alternate sources of supply,” Graincorp Chief Executive Officer Robert Spurway said.
The company said its ports were operating near capacity despite disruptions caused by flooding on the east coast.
Shipping slots on the eastern and western coasts of the country have been booked up since March, following a second straight year of a record wheat crop, which has kept a lid on Australian wheat prices.
“GNC continues to benefit because ultimately their (logistical) assets act as a bottleneck to exports, which allows them to control price – extremely advantageous when other supply chains are tight”, analysts at RBC Capital Markets said.
Graincorp expects annual underlying net profit after tax between A$310 million and A$370 million ($231.82 million – $276.72 million), up from its previous forecast of A$235 million to A$280 million and far higher than the A$139 million reported last year.
The upgraded forecast also trounced Refinitiv analysts expectations of A$266.2 million net income for the year.
The company added that its processing business was also performing strongly, with oilseeds benefiting from strong global demand for crude and refined vegetable oils.
It also pointed to higher export supply-chain margins and a good crop season, both supporting its higher profit outlook.
