ADM Net Rises 20 Percent on Higher Ethanol, Corn Syrup Prices
By Daniel Goldstein
Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Archer Daniels Midland Co., the world's largest grain processor, said second-quarter profit rose 20 percent, more than expected, on higher prices for the ethanol and sweeteners it produces from corn.
Net income rose to $441.3 million, or 67 cents a share in the three months ended Dec. 31, from $367.7 million, or 56 cents, the Decatur, Illinois-based company said today in a statement. Sales rose 18 percent to $11 billion. The average estimate of seven analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for profit of 64 cents.
``We continue to see encouraging trends at ADM's major businesses including high fructose corn syrup, oilseeds and agricultural services, and believe ADM's outlook could prove considerably better than what the market appears to be factoring in,'' Citigroup analyst David Driscoll said in a note to investors before results were released.
Shares of Archer Daniels rose 52 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $32 yesterday in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The stock has fallen 31 percent since reaching a record $46.71 on May 11.

Die Aktie ist m.E. jetzt klar unterbewertet.
