Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM)

The company now

ADM reported on 4 August 2026 that its second-quarter net earnings were $908 million 2. Segment operating profit, the profit of its three businesses before corporate costs and one-off items, rose 75 percent to $1.45 billion 2.

The main reason was a federal rule: in March 2026 the Environmental Protection Agency set final renewable fuel blending requirements for 2026 and 2027 3. The company said the rule improved the economics of blending biofuels and lifted demand for farm feedstocks 3. Its crushing profit rose by $330 million from a year earlier 2.

ADM now expects adjusted earnings per share of about $5.15 to $5.60 for 2026, its own guidance, up from $3.60 to $4.25 when it first gave the range in February 24.

The open question is whether those margins held through the third quarter, which ADM reports on 3 November 2026 8. A second is what Jeff Rowe, the former Syngenta Group chief executive hired as chief operating officer in August to run the commercial businesses, plants and research, changes 6.
