Archer Daniels Mid

Archer-Daniels-Midland will invest about $100 million to upgrade four US oilseed-crushing plants, adding roughly 700,000 metric tons of capacity by 2028–2029 and identifying six more sites for potential expansion. Management says the phased upgrades are a lower-cost alternative to new facilities and will fit within the company’s 2026 capex range, while ADM raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance after strong Q2 results. Executives warned the gains depend on policy and commodity-price tailwinds, and the expansion includes offramps if market conditions deteriorate. » Więcej na finance.yahoo.com
