Based on the provided data, Bunge Limited's net profit margin has shown variability over the reporting periods from March 2020 to December 2024. The net profit margin started in negative territory in March 2020 and June 2020 but gradually improved to positive territory from September 2020 onwards. The net profit margin reached its peak at 4.78% in March 2021 before fluctuating within a range of 2% to 4% over the subsequent quarters.

Despite some fluctuations, Bunge Limited has generally maintained a positive net profit margin, indicating that the company has been able to effectively manage its expenses relative to its revenue. However, the slight decrease in the net profit margin towards the end of the reporting period in December 2024 may be a point of interest, warranting further investigation into the factors influencing the profitability of the company during that period.
