Board Chair and CEO Juan Luciano commented, &#8220;With softer market conditions and policy uncertainty around the world going into 2025, we are focused on improving our operational performance, accelerating costs savings, and simplifying our portfolio.&#8221;

Ag Services &amp; Oilseeds segment operating profit was $644 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, down 32% compared to the prior year quarter.
Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit was $319 million during the fourth quarter, up 3% compared to the prior year quarter.
Nutrition segment operating profit was $88 million during the fourth quarter, an increase from the segment operating loss of $10 million in the prior year quarter.

&#8220;We are announcing targeted actions to deliver $500 – 750 million in cost savings over the next several years,&#8221; Luciano added.
Specifically, ADM expects to achieve most of the cost savings on an annual run-rate basis through improvement in manufacturing costs, reduced purchased materials and services, and targeted workforce reduction. The company currently expects a decrease of approximately 600 &#8211; 700 roles globally in 2025.
The company stated that it will continue to focus on disciplined capital allocation, prioritizing strategic investments with strong returns and returning cash to shareholders, including a 2% increase in its quarterly dividend.
The firm declared a cash dividend of 51.0 cents per share, up from 50.0 cents per share, on the company&#8217;s common stock. The dividend is payable on March 11.
Outlook: The company expects 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.00 to $4.75 (consensus $4.67), reflecting weaker market fundamentals and on-going biofuel and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">trade policy uncertainty.</a>
Price Action: ADM shares are trading lower by 2.92% to $48.56 at last check Tuesday.

Shares of consumer staples stocks are trading higher. The sector may be rising amid a rotation out of tech stocks and into risk-off stocks amid AI competition fears from China.

Illinois Gov.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jb-pritzker"> J.B. Pritzker</a> reaffirmed his commitment to protecting immigrant residents lacking permanent legal status in response to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43084601/trump-day-1-executive-order-tsunami-incoming-energy-inflation-immigration-in-focus-but-what-about-tariffs">promised crackdown</a>, which was expected to get underway in Chicago.
Pritzker says he supports deporting individuals convicted of violent crimes but not law-abiding workers who are living in the country without permission. 
"I want criminals off the streets, and law enforcement officers to do their jobs," the Democratic governor <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/pritzker-promises-to-uphold-states-immigration-laws-amid-possible-ice-raids/3652713/">said</a> in an interview with NBC Chicago published Tuesday. "Undocumented people who are law-abiding and holding down jobs shouldn't be arrested just because they're undocumented."
Pritzker's remarks counter plans by Tom Homan, Trump's proposed border czar, who has pledged to dismantle state and local policies limiting federal enforcement. While fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have intensified, no verified reports of immediate actions had surfaced as of Wednesday, <a href="https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/01/21/despite-reports-of-tuesday-immigration-raid-chicago-was-quiet-on-trumps-first-full-day-in-office">according</a> to WBEZ Chicago.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Negative Impact On Chicago&#8217;s Economy Could &#8216;Last For Years&#8217; </h2>
Trump's deportation policies are expected to disrupt key sectors of Chicago&#8217;s economy, heavily reliant on immigrant labor. The hospitality and restaurant industry is preparing for potential ICE raids, though fears and misinformation have already reduced business activity and patronage. 
Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-21/threat-of-immigration-raids-turns-chicago-hub-into-ghost-town?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a> the second busiest retail corridor in Chicago, normally a bustling area with taco shops and Mexican grocery stores, is like a ghost town.
"It's going to be disastrous," said Jennifer Aguilar, who heads the local chamber of commerce and spoke with a number of the 400 or so businesses in the area. "If raids happen and people are too afraid to go out, it's going to be an impact that's going to last for years." 
McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), which is headquartered in Chicago, could face operational challenges and decreased consumer spending as the result of fear within immigrant communities.
Beyond Chicago, Illinois' agricultural and food processing industries could also experience supply chain disruptions.
Companies like Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>), which rely on global as well migrant workforces in their supply chains, could be affected by Trump&#8217;s threatened deportations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Prisons Continue To Fare Well</h2>
Private prison operators like GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), the two largest in the U.S., both have contracts with ICE to house detained undocumented individuals. According to a 2023 ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, over 90% of migrants detained by ICE are held in privately owned facilities. As such, both companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42692787/private-prisons-poised-to-prosper-in-second-trump-term">stocks are on the rise</a> over the last year. Geo and CoreCivic were trading lower Wednesday.

Investors love high-growth stories, and they should.
Companies that are growing rapidly have the potential to deliver massive gains.
The problem is that Wall Street and most observers are not always using the right metrics to determine growth.
The most used metric is earnings per share growth. Nothing excites people more than a massive year-over-year earnings gain.
Once you have been at this for a while, you realize that a competent accountant can make the earnings per share numbers be almost anything their boss wants them to be.
Earnings management and even outright fraud can go on for longer than one would think.
Just as with people who bought into Enron, WorldCom, or any other companies that were Wall Street darlings until the ugly truth was revealed.
Many companies have been accused of other forms of accounting misconduct that led investors down a primrose path over the years, including stalwarts like Kraft Heinz (Ticker: KHC), Chemours Chemical (Ticker: CC) (Teflon manufacturer), and Archer Daniels Midland (Ticker: ADM), which have been accused of irregularities that made things look better than they were.
I tend to ignore reported earnings most of the time.
One of the greatest lessons I have learned over the years is that everything eventually shows up on the balance sheet.
I like to look at top-line revenue growth and then skip everything in between to look at book value growth.
This allows me to see what happens once management gets their hands on the money.
Did they use the cash wisely and invest the excess cash flow to increase the company&#8217;s value?
Or did they waste it and not create much value along the way?
If you want to see this theory in action, the three companies with the fastest book value growth in the S&amp;P 500(Ticker: SPY) are NVIDIA (Ticker: NVDA), Amazon (Ticker: AMZN), and Tesla (Ticker: TSLA).
Management received the cash, paid the bills, and grew the value of the business.
In this case, it does not matter what the price-to-book ratio value is.
We are not measuring valuations.
We are simply determining if management is converting revenues to real value at a high rate.
It is no accident that Warren Buffett has measured his success at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) by the growth in book value.
It is the best way to measure growth.
Very few people look at stocks this way, so we can use the combination of revenue and book value growth to find some potential gems that are well under Wall Street&#8217;s radar.
Velocity Financial (Ticker: VEL) is a business that is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the housing affordability crisis.
Thanks to higher mortgage rates and a lack of inventory, people are renting for longer.
Velocity Financial (VEL) operates in an often-overlooked but highly lucrative niche of the real estate finance world, specializing in loans for real estate investors. This is not your typical Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac lending operation; Velocity thrives in the non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) space, targeting small- to mid-sized investors who need financing for rental properties and small commercial ventures. This is the bread and butter of the real estate world—the individuals who are rehabbing houses, growing rental portfolios, and breathing life into small business properties.
Velocity is not competing with big banks or institutions chasing the cookie-cutter borrower. Instead, it is laser-focused on a niche that is too small for the big institutions to care about but too complex for the smaller entities to handle. It offers tailored financing for single-family rentals, small multifamily properties, and even small commercial buildings like retail or mixed-use spaces. Borrowers are often small investors with solid property cash flow but not the financial profile big banks want to consider.
The loans are short- to medium-term, high-yield, and relatively low balance, which means Velocity captures some attractive interest income compared to traditional lenders. Velocity has built a scalable origination platform, using brokers and direct relationships to keep the deals flowing while maintaining tight underwriting standards. Their proprietary process focuses on the property&#8217;s cash flow, an approach that fits this market perfectly.
The business is growing impressively.
Revenue is growing at over 20% annually, and tangible book value has grown by about 25% over the past five years.
Given the niche market Velocity serves, I would expect the company to continue to grow at an above-average rate for several years. As Wall Street discovers this company, we could see buying pressure push the stock to much higher prices in the years ahead.
Red Violet, Inc. (Ticker: RDVT) is one of those under-the-radar plays that quietly builds an impressive moat in a high-growth niche. At its core, this is a data and technology company with a focus on identity intelligence and data fusion. In simpler terms, Red Violet takes massive amounts of data, turns it into actionable insights, and sells it to industries that need help solving some of their biggest problems—fraud, compliance, risk, and verification.
This is the kind of company that thrives in today&#8217;s data-driven world. It is not flashy, but it is indispensable to its customers. Red Violet operates through two key platforms: IDI Core and Forewarn, both of which are designed to make the complex world of data analytics simple and accessible for its users.
IDI Core is the workhorse of the operation. This platform is used by a variety of industries—financial services, insurance, government, legal—to verify identities, detect fraud, and conduct investigations. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife for anyone needing to sift through mountains of data quickly and accurately. It is the platform that makes businesses smarter, faster, and more compliant in an increasingly regulated world.
Then there is Forewarn, which takes a different tack by focusing on the real estate industry. Real estate agents use this tool to screen potential clients and assess risks instantly. With safety concerns on the rise in the field, Forewarn has carved out a strong niche in a growing vertical.
What sets Red Violet apart is its proprietary technology. They have built a scalable infrastructure capable of analyzing billions of records and turning them into something useful.
That is not just tech buzz. It is the foundation for why customers keep coming back and why the company&#8217;s business model works.
Sales and earnings are both growing at around 30% a year and have the potential to continue to grow at a very high rate.
As the dollars come in the door, Red Violet Management is using them to increase the value of the company at a rapid pace.
