-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We lift our 12-month target from $76 to $88, representing ~15x our 2027 EPS of $5.83 (raised from $4.91; 2026 raised to $4.65 from $4.23). This multiple reflects a slight premium to the company's long-term mean of 14x. Our raised estimates and target price reflect a strong start to 2026, with the company's earnings trajectory improving over the next several quarters due to robust crush margins (supported by recent biofuel policy clarity), stronger ethanol margins, and solid export demand, particularly from China. Soybean meal is also seeing strength, supported by favorable livestock fundamentals and strong global demand for protein. ADM is also experiencing a strong recovery in its Nutrition segment due to robust sales of flavors (e.g., natural colors) and improved efficiencies as the Decatur East plant comes online. ADM shares have been a standout performer so far this year, and we continue to see additional upside.
