Aug. 4, 2026 Source: ADM news release ADM Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Reports second quarter 2026 EPS2 of $1.87 and adjusted EPS1,2 of $1.84 Raises full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance on strong commercial and operational execution, constructive biofuels environment, and momentum in Nutrition ADM (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and updated its full-year 2026 outlook. 2Q26 Key Takeaways: *Net earnings of $908 million, with adjusted net earnings1 of $895 million *EPS2 of $1.87, with adjusted EPS1,2 of $1.84 2026 Outlook3: *ADM now expects 2026 adjusted EPS1,2 of approximately $5.15 to $5.60, up from the prior adjusted EPS1,2 guidance range of $4.15 to $4.70 The updated outlook reflects expected year-over-year earnings improvement in ADM's crushing and ethanol businesses, as the Company expects to continue capitalizing on the constructive margin environment through disciplined execution. That environment stems primarily from the finalized 2026 and 2027 renewable volume obligations ("RVO") under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard in March 2026, supported by global trade dynamics and elevated energy prices. Additionally, performance continues to improve in Nutrition, Continuing to monitor external factors across the macroeconomic, geopolitical, policy, and trade environments Capital expenditures continue to be projected to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion. "ADM delivered robust second-quarter financial and operating results," said Juan Luciano, Chair of the Board and CEO. "Segment operating profit rose significantly year-over-year and sequentially, with broad-based growth across all three segments--driven by strong commercial and operational execution by the team, a constructive biofuels environment, and momentum in Nutrition, led by Flavors. These results, and the expectations we have into the back half of this year, give us confidence to again raise our 2026 earnings outlook." Agriculture Services and Oilseeds Summary (AS&O) AS&O segment operating profit was $867 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 129% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to margin expansion across the segment, most notably in Ag Services and North American crushing, which was supported by the RVO and elevated global energy prices. Current quarter results included around $100 million of net positive mark-to-market and timing impacts, primarily attributable to the Crushing subsegment, with a modest benefit attributable to the Ag Services subsegment, partially offset by a net negative impact attributable to Refined Products and Other subsegment. Ag Services subsegment operating profit was 159% higher compared to the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of strategically leveraging ADM's global asset network in a complex operating environment to deliver value across the agricultural supply chain. Further, South American operations benefited from the grain export terminal in Barcarena, Brazil, returning to full operations, and increased soybean exports which were supported by higher farmer selling. Crushing subsegment operating profit increased by $330 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was attributable to strong execution by the team in an improved margin environment. Global oilseed volumes increased by approximately 5% compared to the prior year quarter, in part due to improved asset utilization. Margin strength was supported by a constructive environment for biofuels, which was underpinned by the RVO, higher global energy prices, and positive net mark-to-market and timing impacts. Further, stable soybean meal prices supported strong global meal demand, resulting in record meal exports from Brazil and the U.S. Refined Products and Other subsegment operating profit was 3% lower compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease largely resulted from net negative mark-to-market and timing impacts in the second quarter of 2026. Underlying regional performance was mixed, with strong North American and European biodiesel margins partially offset by net negative mark-to-market timing impacts and supply and demand imbalances in South America impacting local margins. Equity earnings from the company's investment in Wilmar were approximately 22% lower compared to the prior year quarter. To read the entire report click here. Tweet |
