During the year-end, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company experienced significant market activity. Despite a 32.1% slump in stock value over the past year, major acquisitions and investments in the company were reported by Invesco, Prudential, and Resona. This is due to the company's consideration for cost management by possibly selling its futures brokerage. These developments occurred alongside accounting issues which have led the new role allotment to Chris Cuddy and a series of layoffs.
Various potential angles were brought forward for ADM's investment proposition. It was touted as the top farmland, ethanol, low-priced dividend and high dividend-yielding consumer defensive stock. However, it was compared negatively to other farmland and agriculture stocks by short sellers. Amid this, there were further concerns due to soft oilseed demand and a federal securities fraud case. Despite these troubles, the company showcased resilience when the stock gained slightly during a market slip, a reflection of its strong dividend yield.
Lastly, the ADM's CEO came under fire, with shareholders calling for his dismissal amid the ongoing criminal investigation.
