Description: ADM Archer-Daniels-Midland December 17, 2025

Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) is a global agribusiness that procures, transports, stores, processes, and markets a broad range of agricultural commodities and derived ingredients. Its operations are organized into three segments-Ag Services & Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition-covering everything from raw oilseeds and soft seeds to specialty food, feed, and industrial ingredients, as well as commodity financing and brokerage services. The company serves customers worldwide from hubs in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue was $57.5 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 13 % and free cash flow of $2.5 billion; ADM paid a dividend yielding about 2.7 % and returned $4.2 billion to shareholders via buybacks and dividends. Primary economic drivers include global grain demand (especially soybeans, which account for ~30 % of volume), biofuel mandates that boost demand for biodiesel-compatible oils, and commodity price volatility that affects both margins and financing activities.
