Archer Daniels Midland Company Price and EPS Surprise
Archer Daniels has been gaining from solid demand, improved productivity, product innovations and persistent growth in the Nutrition segment. On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, management expected the Nutrition segment to witness year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Significant gains in the Human Nutrition unit have been aiding the Nutrition business. Within the Human Nutrition unit, solid demand for plant-based proteins, a robust performance in texturants and strength in Specialty Ingredients, bodes well. Continued momentum in the Flavors unit should have contributed to growth in the fourth quarter.
The company has been expanding its solutions portfolio, which forms part of its Carbohydrate Solutions unit. It has also been utilizing innovative technologies to develop products and boost operating capabilities. Such endeavors are expected to have aided the company’s top line in the quarter under review.
However, Archer Daniels has been exposed to headwinds, including higher performance-related compensation, project-related costs, and shifting costs from business segments into the centralized centers of excellence in the supply chain and operations. It has also been reeling under the impacts of the pandemic and inflationary pressures.
