Darling Ingredients Inc's pretax margin has shown fluctuating trends over the period analyzed. Starting at 13.43% on March 31, 2020, the pretax margin increased steadily, reaching a peak of 17.42% on December 31, 2021. This was followed by a slight fluctuation but generally maintaining levels above 15% until June 30, 2022.

From there, the pretax margin began to decline, dropping to 10.80% by December 31, 2023, and further decreasing to 4.21% by December 31, 2024.
