MBRF profit more than doubled in the third quarter of 2026
Brazilian food company MBRF reported net profit of 210 million reais in the third quarter of 2026, up 123.5% from a year earlier.
MBRF was formed by the merger of Marfrig and BRF, which completed its first year during the quarter.
Its US beef business, National Beef, delivered its best quarterly performance in two years.
The business benefited as the US cattle supply began to improve after imports of Mexican cattle were allowed, easing a shortage that had hurt margins.
MBRF's adjusted operating earnings reached 3.6 billion reais, while group revenue was 41.4 billion reais.
The results show a recovery in a major part of MBRF's business, but the company gave no next steps in the information available.
