Description: ODC Oil-Dri Of America January 25, 2026
Oil-Dri Corporation of America (NYSE: ODC) manufactures and markets a diversified portfolio of sorbent-based products across two segments – Retail & Wholesale Products and Business-to-Business Products. Its offerings span agricultural carriers (Agsorb, Verge, Flo-Fre), animal health and nutrition, industrial oil-absorbing sorbents (Oil-Dri), cat litter (Saular, Cat’s Pride, Jonny Cat), and specialty sports-field materials (Pro’s Choice). The company serves a broad customer base that includes mass merchandisers, farm-and-fleet distributors, pet-specialty retailers, industrial cleanup firms, and processors of edible and biodiesel oils.
According to the most recent FY 2025 filing (released Feb 2026), ODC reported revenue of **$210 million**, a **3.5 % year-over-year increase** driven primarily by higher sales of its industrial sorbents and pet-care lines. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to **12.8 %**, up from 10.9 % in FY 2024, reflecting cost-saving initiatives in raw-material sourcing. The global sorbent market is projected to grow at a **CAGR of 5.2 % through 2030**, buoyed by stricter environmental regulations on oil spill remediation and rising demand for biodegradable agricultural carriers. Simultaneously, U.S. pet ownership reached a record **69 million households** in 2025, supporting continued expansion of the cat-litter segment. These macro trends suggest a favorable tailwind for ODC, though the company’s exposure to commodity price volatility (e.g., clay and polypropylene) remains a material risk.
