ADM's Quarterly Profit Sinks Amid Restructuring & Market Challenges
ADM, facing weak oilseed crush margins and uncertain U.S. biofuel policies, reports a decline in Q4 profits and announces a major restructuring plan. The company will lay off up to 700 employees globally and aims for cost reductions between $500M and $750M over the next 3-5 years. While agricultural services and oilseeds face decreased profits, ADM's carbohydrate solutions and nutrition units have shown resilience with improved performances. The company projects adjusted earnings of $4.00-$4.75 per share for 2025 amidst industry-wide challenges.
