Ingredion (INGR) shares tumbled 5.20% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, which fell short of analysts' expectations. The ingredient solutions provider also adjusted its full-year sales forecast, contributing to investor concerns.

For the third quarter, Ingredion reported earnings per share (EPS) of $2.61. However, on an adjusted basis, EPS came in at $2.75, missing the IBES estimate of $2.92. The company's Q3 sales also disappointed, reaching $1,816 million against an expected $1,903 million, indicating weaker-than-anticipated demand for its products.

Looking ahead, Ingredion updated its outlook for the full year 2025. The company now expects net sales to be flat to down low single-digits, a revision that suggests a more challenging market environment. On a more positive note, Ingredion maintained its full-year adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $11.1 to $11.3. Additionally, the company projects capital expenditures for the year to be between $400 million and $425 million, signaling ongoing investments in its operations despite the current headwinds.
