Monsanto Company (MON) came up with downbeat results for 2Q16 with both lines falling short of estimates. Let’s take look at the headline numbers and the behavior of the Monsanto stock and the related ETFs. 2Q in Focus The company’s earnings came in at $ 2.42 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.45. Earnings were also lower than the year-ago figure of $2.90 per share. Second-quarter revenues of $4.53 billion, down 12.8% year over year, fell shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.88 billion. Weak business from seeds and genomics led to this revenue underperformance. Revenues from Agricultural Productivity declined 29.8% year over year. If this was not enough, Monsanto cuts its fiscal 2016 earnings per share projection from the lower end of the $5.10–$5.60 range to $4.40–$5.10 per share range. ETF Impact Needless to say, following the earnings and revenue miss as well as a weak guidance, shares of Monsanto did not respond favorably. The company’s shares remained almost flat in the last two days following the earnings release (as of April 7, 2016). The stock has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Monsanto has a sizable exposure in various agricultural and materials ETFs like MSCI Global Agriculture Producers ETF (VEGI), Materials Select Sector SPDR (XLB), iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (IYM) and Market Vectors-Agribusiness ETF (MOO). This suggests that the performance of these funds is highly dependent on Monsanto. Below, we have discussed these ETFs in detail: VEGI in Focus This global ETF invests about $25.2 million of assets. In its 126-stock portfolio, the in-focus Monsanto takes the second spot with 12.12% allocation. Sector-wise, materials take the top position with 46.7% share followed by food and beverages (22.1%). Country-wise, the U.S. accounts for about half of the portfolio while Switzerland (12.4%) and Canada (8.2%) occupy the next positions. The ETF charges about 39 bps in fees a year and has a dividend yield of 2.51%. The fund lost about 0.14% in the last two days following the earnings release (As of April 7, 2016). XLB in Focus Investors looking to tap the rise in Monsanto in ETF form can also invest in XLB. Here also, Monsanto takes up the third position with 7.6% of assets.
