Description: ADM Archer-Daniels-Midland October 14, 2025
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) is a vertically integrated agribusiness that procures, transports, stores, processes, and markets a broad range of agricultural commodities and derived ingredients. Its operations span the United States and key global markets, including Brazil, Canada, Europe, and Asia, allowing it to capture value across the entire supply chain from farm to end-user.
ADM’s business is organized into three segments: Ag Services & Oilseeds (crushing, merchandising, and trade finance of oilseeds and soft seeds); Carbohydrate Solutions (starches, sweeteners, ethanol, and related industrial products); and Nutrition (specialty food, feed, and health ingredients such as proteins, natural flavors, probiotics, and pet treats). The company also provides commodity brokerage and futures-commission-merchant services.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show revenue of roughly $73 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin near 9 %, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the business but also its resilience to commodity price swings. ADM’s earnings are highly sensitive to soybean crush margins, corn-based ethanol demand, and global grain supply-demand fundamentals-drivers that are in turn influenced by U.S. biofuel policy, weather-related crop yields, and emerging protein-alternative trends.
