Archer Daniels Midland has been making significant moves recently, both internally and in response to external pressures.
Patolawala, formerly of 3M, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer in the midst of a US government investigation. However, this hasn't stopped the company from outperforming the broader stock market. Plans for a joint venture with
LG Chem to build a Polylactic Acid plant in Decatur, Illinois were called off due to rising construction costs. The company's nutrition and flavor business is under investigation by the government, adding to the challenges. At the same time, ADM has taken strategic steps to streamline its offerings, cutting 17% of its SKUs and detailing a cost savings plan. Despite a decline in Short Interest, there has been a shareholder lawsuit over alleged fraud, which adds uncertainty to the stock outlook. Accounting issues seem to persist within the company, with an on-going investigation resulting in the resignation of their CFO. Lastly, ADM aims to strengthen their nutrition business by acquiring a UK-based firm.
