Wednesday, May 15, 4:37 PM Buffett buys Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI +1.5% AH), the Berkshire (BRK.A) 13F filing showing a new position valued at more than $400M. Missing from the portfolio are previously held positions in General Dynamics (GD no change AH) and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM -1% AH). 3 Comments
Wednesday, May 15, 3:35 PM Archer Daniels Midland (ADM +2.2%) says it expects to realize $200M in savings by the end of 2014 from a round of operational and technological advances. In addition, it expects to hold $1B in cash by the end of this year. The information is being highlighted by company execs during their presentation in NYC at the BMO Capital Markets Farm to Market Conference (webcast). Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, May 10, 3:32 PM Smithfield Foods (SFD +1.5%) trades higher after corn futures tumble on word that the corn harvest in the fall could come in well-above expectations. Another company to watch is Archer Daniels Midland (ADM +0.1%) which buys corn to produce ethanol. (USDA report) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, May 2, 3:35 PM Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) declares $0.19/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.26%. For shareholders of record May 16. Payable June 06. Ex-div date May 14. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Wednesday, May 1, 5:56 PM Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) confirms it has completed due diligence on GrainCorp (GRCLF.PK) and intends to make a cash offer to acquire the company for A$12.20/share under the terms of the takeover bid signed last week. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
Wednesday, May 1, 4:48 PM More on Archer Daniels Midland's (ADM) Q1 results: "As expected, this was a challenging quarter," CEO Patricia Woertz says. Operating profit in agricultural services fell 42%, blamed on ongoing effects from last summer's U.S. drought. Oilseeds processing profit also fell 42%, due to challenges in Brazil and depressed margins in cocoa. Corn processing profit rose 15% on improved ethanol results. 1 Comment [Commodities, Earnings]
Wednesday, May 1, 4:41 PM Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): Q1 EPS of $0.48 misses by $0.05. Revenue of $21.73B (+2.7% Y/Y) beats by $320M. Shares -0.2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Commodities, Breaking News]
Friday, April 26, 6:12 PM Analysts and investors largely support ADM's $3B deal for GrainCorp, which would give it access to grain storage and ports on Australia's east coast, the beachhead for exporting grain to Asia. The acquisition would make ADM's fortunes less dependent on U.S. weather and ethanol prices, but questions remain about financing terms for the deal and cost savings that would come from the combination. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, Global & FX]
Friday, April 26, 3:06 AM Australian grain exporter GrainCorp (GRCLF.PK) has accepted an increased takeover offer of A$3B ($3.1B) from Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) following a six-month courtship. ADM has agreed to pay A$12.20 a share and a dividend of A$1 a share. Should the company buy GrainCorp - the deal is subject to due diligence - ADM will gain control of seven out of eight ports that facilitate the bulk shipping of grain from Australia's east coast. (PR) Comment! [M&A, Top Stories, Commodities]
Saturday, April 13, 8:25 AM When looking for dividend stocks, Kelley Wright believes a company isn't necessarily more attractive just because it pays a higher dividend. The key is when a stock's current yield is at the high end of the range of past yields; a strong balance sheet and a consistent pattern of higher earnings and rising dividends help too. Wright's top 10: APD, ADM, KO, COP, CVX, OXY, PEP, RS, TXN, WAG. 19 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, April 9, 3:55 PM Results from privately-held agribusiness giant Cargill could offer a glimpse of what to expect when Archer Daniels Midland (ADM -1.7%) and Bunge (BG -1.4%) report later this month. Cargill reported FQ3 net earnings fell 42% Y/Y while revenues edged 1% higher to $32B; its North American business was hit by the lingering U.S. drought, and four of its five business segments posted lower results Y/Y. Comment! [Commodities, Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 9, 6:55 AM Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and Mosaic (MOS) are tapped by The Street as two companies set to benefit from the expected rise in wheat prices this year. Both stocks trade with valuation still in line with historical norms. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Thursday, February 28, 9:07 AM A screen searching for stocks Warren Buffett (BRK.B) may be interested in turned up 28 names, but only one - ADM - is a current Berkshire holding. Most likely to catch the Oracle's eye from the rest of the list, writes Jack Hough in Barron's, is Sysco (SYY), Cummins (CMI), and Illinois Tool Works (ITW). 3 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, February 5, 10:19 AM Archer Daniels Midland (ADM +4.8%) trades higher after showing considerable strength on its top line in FQ2 and improved profitability compared to a year ago after outliving impairment charges. A key trend for the company is that it's able to pass off higher corn costs to buyers of its corn syrup. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 5, 9:15 AM More on Archer Daniels' (ADM) Q4 results: Oilseeds Processing profit rose 97%, as stronger profits on the crushing and origination business helped offset declines in biodiesel. Corn Processing profit fell when stripping out last year's $339M asset impairment charge, due to ongoing weakness in industry ethanol margins. Ag Services profit rose after a gain on its investment in GrainCorp. Shares +1.9% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 5, 7:03 AM Archer-Daniels Midland (ADM): FQ2 EPS of $0.6 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $24.9B beats by $1.23B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Consumer]
