ADM (ISIN US0394831020) was trading at EUR 71.97 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:44 a.m. CEST. As Yahoo Finance reported on October 2, 2026, ADM agreed with CJ CheilJedang to form a joint venture for feed-grade amino acids, with CJ as the majority owner.
ADM adds a feed nutrition venture
The proposed venture will combine CJ production facilities in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Piracicaba, Brazil, with ADM's amino acid plant in Decatur, Illinois. The partners also plan to combine CJ sales offices in the United States, Mexico and Brazil, while CJ will license relevant intellectual property to the new company.
The transaction gives the joint venture exclusive rights to manufacture and sell feed-grade amino acids in the Americas. Its launch remains subject to customary closing steps and regulatory approvals, so the agreement is a strategic move rather than completed earnings contribution.
Second-quarter revenue reaches USD 22.68 billion
MarketBeat reported that ADM generated USD 22.68 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 7.20 percent from the same quarter of 2025. The same report said fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance was USD 5.15-5.60, while the quarter's earnings per share came in at USD 1.84 against a USD 1.49 consensus estimate.
The revenue comparison matters because ADM's recovery is uneven across its businesses. Higher revenue and improved earnings expectations support the nutrition strategy, but the joint venture's majority ownership leaves ADM with 37 percent of the new company, according to the October 2 announcement.
Analysts keep a cautious valuation anchor
MarketBeat's September 30, 2026 overview placed the average 12-month price target at USD 79.67 and described the consensus as Hold, based on five Hold ratings, one Sell, one Buy and one Strong Buy. That target is a separate U.S. dollar reference and is not compared with ADM's euro quotation.
ADM's market capitalization was USD 38.8 billion on October 2, 2026. On the NYSE, the stock closed at USD 80.45 on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, while its 52-week range was USD 55.58 to USD 88.75.
