Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) & The Renewable Diesel Equation: When Policy, Scale & Margins Finally Align!
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) recently reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, demonstrating a combination of resilience and areas of challenge within a dynamic global market environment. For 2025, ADM achieved an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.43 and a segment operating profit of $3.2 billion. The company’s efforts in inventory management yielded a $1.5 billion cash flow benefit, which is a significant achievement in working capital management. Positively, ADM reported robust operational execution across several business segments. The Ag Services and Oilseeds (AS&O) segment delivered record crush volumes in South America, though North America faced headwinds with lower export activity, reflecting the challenging global trade environment. In Carbohydrate Solutions, ADM capitalized on ethanol opportunities despite facing softer demand for starches and sweeteners.
