Archer Daniels Midland vs the Consumer Staples sector and the S&P 500

Archer Daniels Midland's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 33 S&P 500 Consumer Staples companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.

Archer Daniels Midland: fiscal year ended December 2025, from its 10-K, 10-KT and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 21, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, Archer Daniels Midland included, are the last regular-session prices of October 20, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 21, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 31/496, net margin 31/496, dividend per share 25/349, 1-year price change 32/488; the reasons below can overlap. 14 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them; dividend medians are among the 25 sector and 349 S&P 500 companies reporting a per-share dividend. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.

Company profile

Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices at 77 West Wacker Drive in Chicago, calls itself in its annual report for fiscal 2025 (Form 10-K) an essential global agricultural supply chain manager and processor, and also a premier human and animal nutrition provider. Its operations are organized into three reportable segments, Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions and Nutrition, with its remaining operations classified within Corporate or Other Business. It also holds a 22.5% equity interest in Wilmar International Limited, a Singapore publicly listed company. Its fiscal year ends December 31, it had 41,496 employees as of December 31, 2025, and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange as ADM (10-K).

For 2025 the consolidated statements of earnings report revenues of $80,269 million, compared with $85,530 million in 2024, earnings before income taxes of $1,255 million and net earnings attributable to controlling interests of $1,078 million, or $2.23 per diluted share. The 10-K says results were primarily driven by lower pricing and execution margins, and lists the deferral of U.S. biofuel policy among the factors that compressed margins in Ag Services and Oilseeds; 2025 results also included $372 million of impairments driven by revaluation losses on investments in the alternative protein market. Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was $3.43 against $4.74 in 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,452 million. At December 31, 2025 total assets were $52,389 million and total shareholders' equity was $22,740 million, and no share repurchases were made during 2025 (10-K).

According to its 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (unaudited), revenues were $22,681 million for the second quarter and $43,171 million for the first six months, and net earnings attributable to Archer-Daniels-Midland Company were $908 million for the quarter, or $1.87 per diluted share, against $219 million, or $0.45, a year earlier. In its August 4, 2026 earnings release ADM reported adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, of $1.84 for the quarter, cited the 2026 and 2027 renewable volume obligations under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, finalized in March 2026, as a key driver of a constructive biofuels margin environment, and said it now expects 2026 adjusted EPS of approximately $5.15 to $5.60, up from a prior range of $4.15 to $4.70 (a company projection, non-GAAP). On August 10, 2026 it issued $500 million of 4.829% Notes due 2031 and $500 million of 5.269% Notes due 2036 (Form 8-K).

On January 27, 2026 ADM said it had resolved government investigations into its prior reporting of intersegment sales: it agreed to a $40 million payment to settle the SEC's investigation, without admitting or denying wrongdoing, and the Department of Justice closed its investigation with no further action. ADM said the transactions affected segment-level reporting only, after it had restated its 2023 Form 10-K and two 2024 quarterly reports in November 2024 (Form 8-K). Juan R. Luciano is Chair of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Monish Patolawala is Chief Financial Officer (10-Q, Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2); Jeff Rowe was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, a newly created role, effective August 17, 2026 (press release of July 20, 2026).

Risks

Agricultural commodities, weather and supply: The 10-K says the availability and prices of the agricultural commodities and other raw materials ADM procures, transports, stores, processes and merchandises can be affected by factors beyond its control, such as weather, plantings, crop disease, government policies and demand, which can raise its costs and affect its results (10-K, Items 1 and 1A).¹
Government policy, biofuels and trade: ADM says regulations affecting the agricultural sector, including government mandates, tax credits and renewable fuel rules, can change plantings, trade flows and demand for its products, and that increases in tariffs and restrictive trade policies can limit market access.
