CJ제일제당 Bio Division Operating Profit Surges to 66-69B Won in Q2, Up 10-Fold from Q1

According to Shinhan Securities and other financial firms, CJ제일제당's bio division operating profit surged to 660-690 billion won in Q2 2026, jumping more than ten-fold from 55 billion won in Q1, with operating margin expanding to 5-6% from 0.6%. The recovery was primarily driven by rising international methionine prices—a key amino acid used in poultry feed produced by few manufacturers—and elevated soybean meal costs, which supported both volume and pricing for feed amino acids. The bio division had faced severe headwinds since late 2025 due to increased competition in arginine and tryptophan and renewed inflows of Chinese lysine to Europe.
