NYSE:ADM Earnings Per Share Growth as at May 2025
Uncover 15 companies that survived and thrived after COVID and have the right ingredients to survive Trump's tariffs.
Archer-Daniels-Midland's recent earnings decline and the contrasting 10% share price rise illustrate a complex landscape for this agricultural giant. While lower earnings saw ADM's net income decrease to US$295 million and sales drop to US$20.18 billion, the company's share price still managed to outperform the broader market over the past month. This recovery in share price may be fueled by positive sentiment around its strategic focus on operational improvements and growth investments, such as biosolutions, aimed at enhancing margins and future revenue.
Over a longer five-year period, ADM's total return, including dividends, was a significant 53.85%, showcasing a robust performance when viewed against recent fluctuations. Despite underperforming the market, which returned 8.2% last year, ADM continues to show potential for growth. Analysts anticipate a modest revenue growth of 2.6% annually and expect earnings to reach US$2.3 billion by April 2028, supported by strategic initiatives and targeted cost actions. Nevertheless, regulatory uncertainties and competitive pressures remain key risks that could impact these forecasts. Furthermore, significant deviations in share performance indicate the market's mixed sentiment.
With ADM's current share price closely aligned with the consensus target of US$49.73, the limited pricing gap suggests analysts see it as fairly valued, though individual projections vary. This ongoing appraisal hinges on ADM achieving anticipated earnings growth and maintaining an acceptable price-to-earnings ratio of 11.3x by 2028. Investors weighing these factors should consider ADM's position relative to industry challenges and emerging opportunities to discern whether its current valuation accurately reflects future prospects.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Has A 7-Hour Playlist With One Song On Repeat: 'Helps Me Do Deep Focused Work'
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Many investors and entrepreneurs listen to music throughout their daily routines. Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong sometimes listens to the same song over and over, thanks to a Spotify Technology (NYSE:SPOT) playlist. How is COIN trading now? Track it here. What Happened: Armstrong, who once slept in the Coinbase office during the early days, has helped transform the cryptocurrency trading platform company into one of the largest in the sector today. Coinbase is often looked to as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector and a soaring price for Bitcoin over the last year has put companies such as Coinbase in the spotlight again. Armstrong is among the cryptocurrency executives helping push regulations for the sector in the U.S. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — One of the secret weapons for Armstrong may be his listening habits. A leak of Spotify playlists revealed the Coinbase CEO has a playlist that contains the same song 60 times. "From the Spotify leak — I've been exposed for having a 7-hour-long playlist with only one song on it. It helps me do deep focused work, don't ask me why," Armstrong tweeted. The Coinbase CEO appears to have confirmed the playlist exists and is used for his key work. The song used in Armstrong's playlist is "Long Way Home" from music producer and DJ Gareth Emery. The song comes in at 7 minutes 25 second long, making the playlist around 7.5 hours long. Emery took to social media to show his appreciation for Armstrong. "I love this! Back when I wrote it, everyone thought 7 minutes was way too long and it needed cutting down — glad I kept it exactly as it was, and love seeing that it's still out there doing good in the world!" Emery It's Important: The Panama Playlists provides top song picks for playlists made by CEOs and politicians. Some names on the list, such as Armstrong, have confirmed the leak as true. The report has put a spotlight on Spotify's privacy settings that allow users to have their playlists made public for friends and others. Armstrong has 10 public playlists according to the report. Other jams loved by the Coinbase CEO include: "Two Suns In The Sky" by Davi "Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston "SOL" by Pryda "Wait For It" by the Original Broadway cast of Hamilton "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper When it comes to listening habits, there could have been more embarrassing song choices and playlist titles than the ones that belong to Armstrong. For those bullish on Bitcoin, perhaps the 7:25 'Long Way Home' can keep some rallies going in the future.

NFL buys 10% stake in ESPN, which buys NFL Network, RedZone
The NFL sold its NFL Network and Sunday RedZone television show to ESPN on Tuesday in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the US-based sports television network. Both companies announced the deal, which also includes the combining of NFL Fantasy Football with ESPN Fantasy Football. Federal regulators must approve the transaction, a process that could take several months, according to the league. Until the deal closes, fans are unlikely to see any significant changes to ESPN or NFL Network. NFL team owners also must approve the deal, but that is seen as little more than a formality given the expanded reach on offer for NFL programming. "I think we've hooked up with the best partners we can have," said New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, chairman of the NFL's media committee. "That will help expose us to more homes, more of an international audience. Strategically, we have to grow our salary cap and can only do that by -- if we want to keep labor peace, we have to grow our audience. This transaction helps us to do that." Global growth opportunities for the NFL, which already plays games overseas every season, played a key role in motivating the NFL to get terms of the deal sorted. "We're hooking up with the strongest sports amalgamation of sports product," Kraft said. "We're giving them what I believe is the best content, and they're giving us the greatest operational company to grow our audience globally. "This is a way for us to broaden our audience. We've done so much. I don't think there's any company like (ESPN owners) Disney and ESPN in doing sports, all sports. We need to expose our product to more people and a greater variety of people." js/sla

Trump envoy Witkoff urged to take tough approach with Putin in make-or-break meeting to end Ukraine war before sanctions
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin one more chance to show he's serious about ending his 41-month-old invasion of Ukraine. As more than six months have passed with no diplomatic progress, well-placed sources tell The Post special envoy Steve Witkoff has been encouraged to take a sterner approach with Moscow's leader ahead of Wednesday's make-or-break meeting — in line with President Trump's recent expressions of disgust at Putin's continued attacks on Ukrainian civilians. Whether Witkoff will take that advice remains unclear. Advertisement 3 President Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin one last chance to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine that started over 3 years ago. via REUTERS A spokesperson for the special envoy declined to comment on the record for this story. Meanwhile, the White House national security team responsible for the Ukraine war held multiple meetings on Tuesday, trying to work out how Washington might best persuade Russia to silence its guns, according to people familiar with the matter. Advertisement Trump himself said Tuesday he would wait to see how the sitdown went before making a final decision on whether to enact secondary sanctions and slapping more tariffs on countries that provide Russia with its main source of income: oil purchases. 'We have a meeting with Russia tomorrow, we're going to see what happens. We'll make a determination at that time,' said the president, before denying that he had promised to set the additional rates at 100% — as he appeared to suggest last month. 'I never said a percentage, but we'll be doing quite a bit of that. We'll see what happens over the next fairly short period of time.' 3 U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will allegedly take a sterner approach in the crucial make-or-break meeting on Wednesday in an effort for the war in Ukraine to end for good. Getty Images Advertisement A source familiar with discussions insisted that sanctions are not inevitable when Trump's deadline is reached Friday, saying the administration is 'pushing hard for a deal. That's always the president's preferred outcome.' As part of his prep, Witkoff has been briefed on the historical motivations behind Putin's war on Ukraine — namely his desire to reconstitute as much of the former Soviet Union as possible, according to a US official. Last month, as Trump's rhetoric toward Moscow began to toughen, Special Presidential Envoy to Ukraine retired Gen. Keith Kellogg said that the president 'now realizes that Putin is not a business partner.' 3 President Trump said he'll see if tomorrow's sit-down will be effective before making a final decision on whether he'll slap more tariffs on Russia. REUTERS Advertisement The commander in chief — so often praised for his businesslike, transactional approach to politics — is up against a ruler who represents the opposite of that approach. That's why the earlier, more cordial approach — complete with Witkoff jovially greeting Putin at the Kremlin — did not work, according to one source. Subsequent offers of reduced sanctions and off-ramps for Russia to end its war were also not enough to persuade Moscow to change its calculus. Russia, for its part, is hoping for more of the same. Witkoff's Wednesday trip comes at the behest of the Kremlin, which invited the envoy after Trump threatened to levy the secondary sanctions. Meanwhile, as Trump's words toward Putin have grown increasingly harsh, Kremlin thought leaders have been denigrating the US president on X. Russian philosopher and Putin confidant Alexander Dugin declared Monday that Trump was crazy, an about-face from a year ago, when Dugin — nicknamed 'Putin's brain' for his purported heavy influence on the Russian leader — endorsed Trump for president in 2024. 'I come to very sad conclusion: Donald Trump is totally mad. It is the shame. We loved him,' Dugin posted to X. Last week, ex-Russian president and current deputy chair of the Kremlin's security council Dmitry Medvedev also blasted Trump for threatening sanctions.
