ADM stock (ISIN US0394831020) was last at USD 82.21 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.32 percent from the prior close. The next company checkpoint is the November 3, 2026 release of third-quarter results, announced by StockTitan on October 6, 2026.

Guidance rose after Q2

ADM reported adjusted EPS of USD 1.84 for the second quarter of 2026 and raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to USD 5.15-5.60 from USD 4.15-4.70. The figures and the guidance change were discussed in the August 4, 2026 earnings call transcript published by Fortune.

The new guidance range is USD 1.00 above the previous low end and USD 0.90 above the previous high end. That change gives the November results a clear test: ADM must show that stronger crushing, ethanol and Nutrition performance is carrying into the second half.

Revenue growth meets margin risk

Second-quarter revenue was USD 22.681 billion, up 7.2 percent from USD 21.166 billion in the same quarter of 2025, according to Financial Report Insights. The comparison matters because the earnings recovery is being measured against a weaker prior-year base.

ADM's second-quarter total segment operating profit reached USD 1.5 billion, while Ag Services and Oilseeds operating profit rose 129 percent compared with the prior quarter. Management also said Nutrition segment operating profit increased 51 percent sequentially, but the outlook remains tied to biofuel margins, renewable fuel policy and grain flows.

Consensus stays cautious

MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus from 8 analysts, with an average target of USD 79.67, a high target of USD 95.00 and a low target of USD 63.00. The average target is USD 2.54 below the October 6 price, placing the market's published expectation below the latest quote.

The counter-factor is operating volatility. ADM's earnings depend on crush margins, ethanol economics, energy prices, trade flows and the timing of mark-to-market effects. The November 3 report will show whether the raised USD 5.15-5.60 adjusted EPS range is supported by another quarter of operating improvement.

ADM stock remains below its yearly high

ADM was last at USD 82.21 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with a session range of USD 81.25-82.92. The 52-week range was USD 55.58-88.75, and the market capitalization was USD 39.6 billion.
