2026 EPS guidance range reflects policy timing uncertainty
ADM reported Q4 2025 earnings that were down significantly due to weak crush margins and softness in consumer-driven markets, but management offered a more constructive 2026 outlook. The guidance calls for EPS growth driven by expected US biofuel policy clarity, improved trade flows, and a continued recovery in the nutrition segment, while highlighting persistent challenges in starches and sweeteners. Q4 2025 adjusted EPS was $0.87, bringing full-year 2025 EPS to $3.43, down from prior year due to weak AS&O performance, particularly in crushing.

- 2026 EPS guidance is set at $3.60-$4.25, with the high end contingent on the timing and adoption of US biofuel policies (RVO) and stronger consumer demand.
- The company expects the Alltech JV to be neutral to profits but a headwind to reported revenue.
- Ethanol margins are expected to be relatively strong in 2026, offsetting continued softness in starches and sweeteners.
