ADM, based in Chicago, reported 2025 revenues of $80.3 billion across three reportable segments, Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions and Nutrition, according to its 10-K.

ADM’s 2026 proxy says the company’s 2025 results were affected by market volatility, shifting global trade conditions and continuing uncertainty around U.S. biofuel policy, factors its compensation committee weighed when setting annual incentive payouts for the named executive officers.
