Inghams reported 1H26 EBITDA of $81 million, close to guidance.  Even though earnings were near guidance, the company has downgraded its FY26e outlook. The reasons cited appear mostly temporary but there are structural challenges around supply chain costs serving its customers. Inghams volume and price outlook are more encouraging and margins should recover. However, with such volatility in earnings over the past 18 months and high gearing, it will take time to rebuild investor trust.
