FMC Corporation (ISIN US3024913036) was trading at EUR 8.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 10:06 a.m. CEST, while its NYSE quote was last at USD 9.00 on October 5, 2026, 71.45 percent below the USD 31.52 yearly high. According to Finanznachrichten on September 23, 2026, FMC completed Tessenderlo Group's minority equity investment.

Tessenderlo takes 20.00 percent

The transaction transferred 30,319,166 FMC common shares to Tessenderlo at USD 13.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of USD 403 million, according to Finanznachrichten.

Tessenderlo now owns 20.00 percent of FMC's outstanding common stock and can nominate one independent director, giving the investment both financial and governance weight.

Quarterly revenue remains pressured

FMC's latest reported quarter delivered adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.26 against consensus of USD 0.22, a USD 0.04 beat, while revenue fell 17.50 percent year over year to USD 841.40 million. MarketBeat reported these second-quarter 2026 figures on September 30, 2026.

The contrast matters: earnings exceeded expectations, but sales declined from the comparable period and the quarter carried a negative net margin of 84.83 percent. The operating picture therefore remains more difficult than the positive earnings-per-share comparison alone suggests.

Results date adds a near-term marker

FMC is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 earnings on October 29, 2026, after the NYSE session, according to Makkler. That report will test whether the second-quarter revenue decline is narrowing and whether the USD 0.26 adjusted earnings-per-share result can be repeated.

FMC stock stays near its yearly low

The NYSE-listed stock was last at USD 9.00 on October 5, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, against a USD 8.33 to USD 31.52 52-week range. At Lang & Schwarz, FMC was trading at EUR 8.05 on October 6, 2026 at 10:06 a.m. CEST, plus 0.37 percent versus the prior close of EUR 8.02.
