The global agricultural supply chain and food ingredients leader, Archer-Daniels Midland, has announced it will report its second-quarter financial performance before the market opens on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Management will host an investor conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time that day to discuss the results and provide a business outlook.
The company's operations span agricultural services, starch and sweeteners, oilseeds, and nutrition. This earnings report comes amid ongoing volatility in global agricultural commodity markets. Data from the Chicago Board of Trade shows corn prices have fallen to their lowest level since 2020, down approximately 60% from the historic highs of 2022. The market will be focused on the profit resilience of ADM's global trade and logistics network in this shifting environment.
In its first-quarter report released in March, ADM posted revenue of $22.1 billion, a decline of roughly 6% year-over-year. At an investor day in May, the company outlined new financial targets, aiming to grow adjusted operating profit by about 50% by 2028 and to increase the long-term returns of its grain trading business from 8% to over 15%. The company also identified its nutrition segment as a core capital allocation priority.
Recently, ADM announced the acquisition of Belgian flavor ingredients producer A. De Jong to strengthen its savory and plant-based solutions platform in Europe. Additionally, the company declared an approximately 8% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.55 per share. Investors can listen to the live webcast via the investor relations section of the company's website, where a replay will also be available post-call. Participation via telephone is also an option for the conference.
