WEAK BUY 31% confidence · analysed Aug 28, 2026
This analysis is from Aug 28, 2026 and may be out of date.
On Aug 28, 2026, our model rated Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM) WEAK BUY with 31% confidence at a price of $80.14. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 51, close to the neutral 50 line, so momentum is balanced.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is only 0.2x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 1.03, which looks reasonably priced for its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 2.2% and revenue growth of +7.2%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.84 per share, which beat the $1.44 analysts expected, with revenue +7.2% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 3.0 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "hold", with an average price target of $78.70.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 3, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $80.36, a target of $85.75 (+6.7%) and a stop-loss at $75.73 (-5.8%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.2 to 1: the potential gain is not much bigger than the loss, so the setup is marginal.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Sep 7, 2026 whatever the price does.
