Original source text
FMC (FMC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.26 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.21 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.69 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +23.81%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this chemical producer would post a loss of $0.39 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.23, delivering a surprise of +41.03%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

FMC, which belongs to the Zacks Agriculture - Operations industry, posted revenues of $841.4 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.03%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.05 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

FMC shares have lost about 21.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.

What's Next for FMC?While FMC has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for FMC was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.61 on $940.28 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.61 on $3.7 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Agriculture - Operations is currently in the top 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, Cibus (CBUS - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

This developer and licensor of plant traits for seed companies is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +57.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 18.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Cibus' revenues are expected to be $1.41 million, up 51.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Second quarter sales of $841 million, excluding India, were 20 percent lower than prior year.  The removal of India represented a 5 percent sales headwind.  Volumes declined 10 percent due to lower diamide partner orders and reduced demand for core legacy products, particularly in North America, as growers contend with strained margins. Price declined 7 percent, driven by pressure on the company's core legacy products and planned Rynaxypyr® active pricing actions.  Foreign currency was a 2 percent tailwind.  The growth portfolio grew mid-single digits as lower Plant Health sales were more than offset by strong performances from new active ingredients and Cyazypyr® active, reflecting continued demand for innovative solutions. Branded sales of Rynaxypyr® were essentially flat versus prior year, excluding India, with strong demand for new formulations.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter declined $253 million primarily due to lower sales, higher restructuring costs and higher interest expense. FMC second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million, a decrease of 26 percent from the prior-year period.  Lower price and volume were partially offset by favorable costs and a moderate FX tailwind.

On a GAAP basis, cash from operations for the second quarter was $363 million, an increase of $297 million versus 2025, including a $200 million upfront payment related to the rimisoxafen active ingredient licensing agreement.  Free cash flow was $357 million, an improvement of $318 million versus Q2 2025 primarily due to higher cash from operations.

Strategy Update

FMC continued to make progress on its four operational pillars during the second quarter: reducing debt, improving the competitiveness of its core portfolio, managing the post-patent transition for Rynaxypyr® and accelerating growth of new active ingredients. These pillars remain the foundation of the company's plan to improve earnings and cash generation, positioning FMC to take full advantage of its technology-driven growth potential.

During the quarter, FMC announced the key components of its targeted approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt reduction. These actions included signing a definitive agreement for the sale of its India commercial business for $252 million, closing on a licensing agreement for rimisoxafen with Corteva for an upfront payment of $200 million, signing a sale-leaseback agreement for its Newark, Delaware property for $114 million and reaching an agreement for a $400 million equity investment from Tessenderlo Group. With these actions and other minor asset sales to be completed this year, FMC expects to generate approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt paydown.  The India commercial business sale, the Newark, Delaware property sale and the Tessenderlo Group investment are subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

With these actions in place, the FMC Board of Directors has concluded the exploration of strategic options announced in February 2026. The company remains focused on executing its operational priorities and strengthening the foundation for future growth through its differentiated technology portfolio.

Full Year Outlook1

The company has updated its full-year 2026 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow guidance ranges.  Full year 2026 revenue guidance1 is now $3.50 billion to $3.70 billion, a decline of 7 percent at the midpoint versus prior year1. The updated guidance reflects a more challenging operating environment and incorporates the company's current view of customer purchasing patterns and market conditions.  Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits mainly due to a challenging macro environment as well as planned pricing actions for Rynaxypyr®. Excluding India, volume is expected to be in line with prior year as reduced diamide partner orders are offset by growth in nearly all other parts of the portfolio. India represents a 2 percent headwind1. FX is expected to be a low-single digit tailwind.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $620 million to $680 million, a decline of 23 percent versus prior year, as lower price and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. Adjusted EPS is expected to be $1.19 to $1.49, a decrease of 55 percent versus prior year, primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA and increased interest expense. Free cash flow is expected to be $75 million to $225 million.  Free cash flow guidance now includes the $200 million upfront payment received for rimisoxafen licensing.

Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter Outlooks1

Third quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $840 million to $900 million, down 9 percent at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025. Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits. FX is expected to be neutral. Volume is expected to be lower as distributors in North America shift orders from Q3 to Q4 to align purchases more closely with application timing and manage inventory levels. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $120 million to $140 million, a decrease of 45 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower sales and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.13 in the third quarter, which represents a 90 percent decline at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025 driven mainly by lower adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense.

The company expects a return to year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $1.06 billion to $1.20 billion, an increase of 4 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025. Volume is expected to show healthy growth driven by increased direct sales to growers in Brazil, new active ingredients and North America distributor orders that shifted from Q3 to Q4. Price is expected to decline by mid-to-high single digits.  Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $275 million to $315 million, an increase of 5 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower price and an FX headwind are more than offset by higher volume and favorable costs.  FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.09 to $1.33 in the fourth quarter, which represents a 1 percent increase at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025.

In some cases, FMC has identified these forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "outlook", "will likely result," "is confident that," "expect," "expects," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to," "believe," "believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "intends" or similar expressions identifying "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and the outlook for the company based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. These statements are qualified by reference to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), the section captioned "Forward-Looking Information" in Part II of the 2025 Form 10-K and to similar risk factors and cautionary statements in all other reports and forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the above cautionary statement.

We specifically decline to undertake any obligation, and specifically disclaim any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as may be required by law.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors. Such terms include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings, free cash flow and organic revenue growth. In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP terms.

Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow (non-GAAP financial measures), we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, our India held for sale business, and discontinued operations. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided. Starting with the third quarter 2025 guidance, we provide forecasts for revenue excluding India (non-GAAP financial measure). We are not able to forecast the GAAP revenue due to potential actions we may take during the held for sale period to prepare the business for a potential buyer and other uncertainties, including customer reaction to the announcement of our intention to sell our India commercial business. In 2026, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlooks provided exclude India results and variances are calculated versus 2025 results, which include India results in the first half of the year.  Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and the removal of India.

Referred to as Adjusted earnings. The Company believes that Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and its presentation on a per share basis provides useful information about the Company's operating results to management, investors, and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of corporate special charges, the India held for sale business, tax-related adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying business from period to period.

(2)

The average number of shares outstanding used in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.6 million and 0.4 million diluted shares, respectively. This number of shares differs from the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share computations (GAAP) as we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders.

(a)

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $139.5 million primarily comprised of $136.5 million in charges related to Project Foundation, which is management's comprehensive plan to further optimize FMC's cost structure and organizational operations. The charges for Project Foundation include non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $134.2 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, which includes a write-off of $70.6 million for certain receivables due to a change in our commercial strategy in Latin America; severance and employee separation costs of $5.3 million; and, other miscellaneous income of $3.0 million, which includes cash proceeds from the sale of a legacy product line partially offset by professional service provider costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we also recorded Project Focus-related costs of $2.9 million, primarily related to miscellaneous charges associated with previously implemented activities. Other charges (income) included $5.4 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $3.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $13.0 million primarily related to Project Focus, which included $5.4 million of severance and employee separation costs, and accelerated depreciation of $2.5 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative, and $4.9 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges. Other charges (income) of $23.7 million is comprised of $7.4 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan® disposal costs at our Middleport site, and $4.4 million of other miscellaneous charges.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $234.0 million primarily comprised of $226.6 million in charges related to Project Foundation, which include non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $198.9 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, which includes a write-off of $70.6 million for certain receivables due to a change in our commercial strategy in Latin America; severance and employee separation costs of $11.5 million; and, other miscellaneous charges of $16.2 million, which includes contract exit costs and professional service provider costs partially offset by the cash proceeds from the sale of a legacy product line. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we also recorded Project Focus-related costs of $7.2 million, primarily related to miscellaneous charges associated with previously implemented activities. Other charges (income) included $9.3 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $0.6 million of other miscellaneous income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $26.6 million primarily related to Project Focus, which included $9.6 million of severance and employee separation costs, accelerated depreciation of $5.6 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative, and $11.5 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges. Other charges (income) of $27.9 million is comprised of $10.9 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan® disposal costs at our Middleport site, and $5.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.

(b)

Our non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income) includes those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted earnings and are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.  

(c)

In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing challenges in the country. In May 2026, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell the India commercial business to Crystal Crop Protection Limited for consideration of $252 million, subject to customary adjustments for cash, debt and working capital. The Company will continue to receive all cash generated from the ongoing operation of the India business until closing, primarily through monetization of working capital, and the sale is expected to close during 2026. The assets related to this business have been classified as held for sale since the third quarter of 2025. The business does not qualify for recognition as discontinued operations and will continue to be presented in the Company's reported GAAP results until a transaction is completed. Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, we have excluded the impact of various activities associated with the anticipated sale from our operating results for non-GAAP purposes. Refer to the table below for the adjustments related to the India held for sale business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.

(e)

Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities. 

(f)

We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of income, and include a non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to continuing operating results in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and changes in tax law. In 2024 and 2023, we recorded significant deferred tax assets due to various tax incentives granted to the Company's Swiss subsidiaries (the "Swiss Tax Incentives"). The initial recognition of these Swiss Tax Incentives did not impact our adjusted non-GAAP effective tax rate but will be considered annually as we realize the benefits. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items, as well as the impacts of the Swiss Tax Incentives annually as the related benefits are realized, assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations (GAAP) adjusted for spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as cash provided (required) by discontinued operations and divestiture transaction costs associated with the sale of our GSS business. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the cash generated by routine business operations, including to assess our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP.

Original source text
FMC (FMC - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis chemical producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.21 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -69.6%.

Revenues are expected to be $909.57 million, down 13.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.69% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for FMC?For FMC, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -13.25%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that FMC will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that FMC would post a loss of$0.39 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.23, delivering a surprise of +41.03%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

FMC doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

FMC podala EPA první dokumentaci k rimisoxafenu
FMC FMC Corporation
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
The submission marks an important milestone in FMC's efforts to advance next-generation weed control technologies as resistance pressure intensifies in key row crop markets.

, /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural sciences company, today announced it has submitted the regulatory dossier for rimisoxafen to the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the first regulatory submission globally for this groundbreaking herbicide active ingredient. The U.S. submission covers use on corn, soybean, sunflower and select pulse crops.

"Filing the first regulatory dossier for rimisoxafen with the EPA represents a significant milestone for FMC," said Seva Rostovtsev, executive vice president and chief technology officer at FMC. "Years of innovation and scientific discovery have brought us to this point, and we are proud to advance this breakthrough dual mode of action technology through the regulatory process on behalf of growers facing increasingly complex weed resistance challenges."

Discovered at FMC's Stine Research Center and built on over a decade of biology research and more than 1,000 field and greenhouse studies, rimisoxafen is the first herbicide active ingredient ever classified as a dual mode of action by the Global Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC). Designated under Groups 12 and 32, rimisoxafen inhibits two distinct biochemical pathways in weeds, which helps delay resistance development compared to single mode of action herbicides.

Herbicide-resistant weeds continue to challenge growers and drive demand for new and underutilized modes of action. According to a 2025 Weed Science Society of America National Weed Survey, Palmer amaranth and waterhemp rank as the most troublesome broadleaf weeds in U.S. soybean production1. In extensive field testing, rimisoxafen has demonstrated consistent activity against both. The U.S. represents a critical market for next-generation weed control solutions with more than 70 million hectares of corn and soybeans grown annually and growers spending more than $6 billion annually on weed control.

Rimisoxafen is the third novel herbicide active ingredient FMC has advanced to regulatory submission in recent years, following Isoflex™ active and Dodhylex™ active. Together, these submissions reflect the depth and productivity of FMC's R&D pipeline and the company's commitment to advancing next-generation crop protection solutions through the regulatory process.

FMC intends to pursue regulatory submissions for rimisoxafen in additional key geographies and crop segments as part of its global development program. Timing and outcomes are subject to regulatory review and approval in each jurisdiction. Rimisoxafen is not currently registered for sale or use in the United States or any other country. No offer for sale, sale or use of this product is permitted prior to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Upon completion of the transaction, Tessenderlo Group will own approximately 20.0% of the outstanding shares of FMC common stock.

Brondeau concluded, "We believe the strategic and operational actions taken by FMC over the last several months, combined with our significantly improved leverage and liquidity position, will deliver value to our shareholders, putting FMC on a path to growth as we strongly serve our customers and markets."

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.
