Der Outlook scheint mir entsprechend gut zu sein: News & Analysis: Business News Grainy Picture at ADM By TSC Staff 5/1/2007 7:07 AM EDT Archer Daniels Midland (ADM - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) posted a mixed third quarter, blowing past sales estimates but falling short on the bottom line. The Decatur, Ill., grain processor made $363 million, or 56 cents a share, for the quarter ended March 31, up from the year-ago $348 million, or 53 cents a share. Sales rose to $11.38 billion from $9.12 billion a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were looking for a 62-cent profit on sales of $9.65 billion. "We performed well in a challenging quarter," said CEO Patricia A. Woertz. "We are particularly pleased with continued strong performance in our corn processing segment. Our results also benefited from actions to strategically align our portfolio and our outlook on future opportunities remains quite strong." Operating profit rose 8% from a year ago, as oilseeds processing operating profit was hit by lower softseed and biodiesel processing margins. Agricultural services operating profit decreased due to lower global merchandising and handling results. But corn processing operating profit increased due to lower operating costs and increased ethanol and sweetener selling prices partially offset by increased net corn costs. Scheint mir heute ein falscher Alarm an der Börse zu sein, wohl eher Gelegenheit für Neueinsteiger. abs |
