ADM reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.77 as segment operating profit rose 64% year over year, led by biofuels strength. The company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance to $5.50–$5.80 and reduced its capital spending guidance.

What happened

Archer-Daniels-Midland reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.77 per share, while operating profit across its business segments rose 64% from a year earlier. Strong biofuel conditions and oilseed processing helped. ADM raised its 2026 profit outlook and lowered planned spending on equipment and projects.

Global impact / market context

The stronger results and higher outlook may support confidence in ADM’s earnings. But weaker cash generation tied to working capital and continued policy and market uncertainty show that the improvement may not be steady.

What to watch

  1. Check whether biofuel conditions remain supportive, since they helped drive results and the higher outlook.
  2. Check whether cash generation improves, since working capital weighed on cash.
  3. Check for changes in policy or market conditions, which the reports identify as risks.
