Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) Reports Strong Q3 2026 Earnings with Increased Full-Year Guidance
Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) delivered robust third-quarter results for 2026, highlighted by a 92% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share to $1.77. The company's performance was primarily driven by significant growth in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment and favorable margins within the biofuels sector. Total segment operating profit rose 64% to $1.4 billion, supported by record soybean crush volumes in South America. Following these strong results, ADM raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $5.50 to $5.80, up from the previous estimate of $5.15 to $5.60. While the Nutrition segment faced some headwinds due to unplanned downtime and market softness in liquid sweeteners, overall operational execution remained strong. The company also reduced its full-year capital expenditures guidance and continued its share repurchase program with $360 million in opportunistic buybacks during the quarter.
