ADM stock traded at USD 83.53 on the NYSE at 10:16 a.m. on September 22, 2026, up 0.18 percent from the prior close of USD 83.38. The price stood 84.3 percent of the way between the 52-week low of USD 55.58 and high of USD 88.75, while market capitalization was USD 41.05 billion.

Quarterly earnings reset the benchmark

ADM reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.84 for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 0.93 in the same quarter a year earlier. The result also exceeded the analyst consensus of USD 1.49 by USD 0.35, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026.

Quarterly revenue reached USD 22.68 billion, up 7.2 percent from the comparable period, although the figure was below the USD 22.75 billion analyst estimate, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. The combination of an earnings beat and a modest revenue miss makes segment profitability more important than the headline sales number.

Ag Services delivers the largest gain

ADM's Ag Services and Oilseeds operating profit rose 129 percent year over year to USD 867 million in the second quarter of 2026. The result was associated with record Brazilian and US meal exports and a more favorable biofuels backdrop, as reported by 247 Wall St on September 22, 2026.

The company set fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance at USD 5.15 to USD 5.60. The guidance includes a cited USD 250 million net benefit from the 45Z clean-fuel provision, while the 2026 and 2027 renewable volume obligations provide a policy-related support factor, according to 247 Wall St on September 22, 2026.

Stock remains below the yearly high

The September 22, 2026 quote leaves ADM USD 5.22 below its 52-week high and USD 27.95 above its 52-week low. That range places the stock close to its upper-year trading area, but the 7.2 percent revenue increase and the 129 percent segment-profit increase point to different signals for sales and margins.

ADM stock was last shown at USD 83.53 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, with the session still underway. The same quote showed a market capitalization of USD 41.05 billion and a 52-week range of USD 55.58 to USD 88.75.
