What guidance did Bioceres provide for FY 2026 and how does it impact our valuation models?

Guidance recap

In the FY 2025 earnings release Bioceres disclosed FY 2026 guidance that centers on a mid‑teens revenue growth trajectory. Management projects FY 2026 top‑line of $120 million‑$130 million, roughly a 15%‑18% increase versus FY 2025, driven by the rollout of its next‑generation bio‑actives and the expansion of its North‑American distribution footprint. Adjusted EBITDA is forecast at $20 million‑$22 million, implying an EBITDA margin of ≈16%‑18%, a modest expansion from the current year. The company also expects free cash flow to turn positive, with cash‑from‑operations in the $5 million‑$8 million range, and reiterates its goal of maintaining a cash‑burn runway of at least 12 months.

Valuation impact

The upgraded FY 2026 top‑line and margin outlook lifts the DCF terminal value by roughly 10%‑15%, depending on the discount rate (8%‑10%) and terminal growth assumptions (2%‑3%). Applying the new cash‑flow forecasts to our existing model adds ≈$1.5 billion‑$2.0 billion of enterprise value, translating to a $2.80‑$3.10 target price per share (up ~20% from the pre‑release consensus of $2.35). The higher margin also supports a forward EV/EBITDA multiple of 12‑13×, in line with the premium tier of peer agritech companies, versus the 9‑10× range we were using before. Sensitivity to the cash‑conversion timeline is the key residual risk; if free cash flow materializes later than FY 2026, the upside shrinks back toward the prior target.

Trading implications

Technically, Bioceres is holding just above its $2.70 30‑day SMA and has respected a $2.55–$2.60 support zone since the earnings release. A break above the $2.80–$2.85 resistance cluster would signal the market internalizing the revised valuation and could trigger a short‑term rally toward $3.10–$3.20. Given the improved fundamentals, a buy‑on‑dip strategy at $2.55‑$2.65 with a stop‑loss around $2.40 aligns the risk/reward profile (~1:3). Conversely, if the stock fails to breach $2.80 and shows declining volume, a partial profit‑take at $2.75 and a tighter stop at $2.60 would preserve capital while we wait for further catalyst confirmation (e.g., product launch data or Q1 2026 cash‑flow results).
