ADM Positioned for Margin Tailwinds Into 2026, According to JPMorgan

Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) is included among the Best Low Risk Stocks for a Retirement Stock Portfolio.

On January 21, JPMorgan raised its price target on Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) to $60 from $59. The firm kept an Underweight rating on the stock. The move came as the firm updated valuations across the agricultural products group ahead of fourth-quarter earnings. The analyst said the ag products industry “seems to be experiencing an improved environment,” pointing to soybean board crush futures that suggest margins could improve as 2026 approaches.

ADM has navigated a challenging period for the global food system in recent years, with the war in Ukraine adding strain to already stretched supply chains. More recently, the company has had to contend with falling prices for certain crops as oversupply weighed on markets.

The company has also been focused on rebuilding investor confidence following developments in 2024, when management disclosed multiple accounting errors. These included the improper recording of sales between business segments, which led ADM to restate financial results and reduce its profit outlook.

Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) operates a global agricultural supply chain, processing and transporting crops while helping meet food demand by linking local markets with global resources.
