ADM stock (ISIN US0394831020) gained 1.26 percent on September 15, 2026, and closed at USD 87.48 after trading between USD 86.01 and USD 88.12, with 587,142 shares changing hands and a market value of USD 41.66 billion.

Guidance is the trigger

According to TradingView News, Archer-Daniels-Midland raised its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to approximately USD 5.15 to 5.60 per share from USD 4.15 to 4.70 per share on September 15, 2026. The same report said the revised outlook assumes year-over-year improvement in crushing and ethanol and that capital spending for 2026 is still seen at USD 1.3 billion to USD 1.5 billion.

The market had another concrete reference point on September 15, 2026: Forbes listed ADM at USD 87.48, with a previous close of USD 86.44, a day range of USD 86.01 to USD 88.12 and a 52-week range of USD 55.58 to USD 88.75.

Valuation stays central

Forbes also showed trailing revenue of USD 82.1 billion, EBITDA of USD 3.0 billion and diluted EPS of USD 3.65, while the portal's analyst summary showed consensus EPS of 5.92 and consensus revenue of USD 96.33 billion. That gap matters because the current price is already near the 52-week high of USD 88.75, so the next test is whether the new guidance can support those forecasts.

For investors, the key comparison is simple: ADM's 2026 EPS outlook of USD 5.15 to 5.60 is above the consensus EPS figure shown by Forbes, but the shares still have to hold above the September 15 close of USD 87.48 to keep that optimism intact.

Stock near the high

ADM stock finished September 15, 2026, at USD 87.48 on the NYSE, leaving it just 1.27 USD below the 52-week high of USD 88.75. The market cap was USD 41.66 billion as of that snapshot.
