Carbohydrate Solutions profit increased 22% to $411 million on robust ethanol margins and policy incentives. Nutrition profit rose 51% to $172 million, led by Flavors and improved Animal Nutrition performance.
Year-to-date, earnings before income taxes were $1.47 billion versus $632 million a year ago, and adjusted EPS was $2.56. On this momentum, ADM raised its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $5.15–$5.60 from $4.15–$4.70 and reaffirmed projected 2026 capital expenditures of $1.3–$1.5 billion.
