Archer Daniels; Credit Trading Wider Even Though Equity Stabilised Last Night

CONSUMER STAPLES

Archer-Daniels (ADM US), again, has one of the worst-performing bonds in the EuroIG index in the wake of Monday night’s CFO departure and probe into the Nutrition business.


  • Its traded EUR bond (ADM 1 09/12/25) is 13bp wider (vs. EuroIG index barely 1bp lower) even though the equity traded broadly sideways last night in the US.
  • S&P has placed the issuer rating on “CW Negative”, Moody’s has it under review for downgrade but there’s little new news at this stage (other than the usual formation of class suits in the US).
  • The credit has traded wider through most of the immediate peers, implying the market has both made its mind up about downgrades but also that this will be a meaningful economic impact in the medium term.
