Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend has been paid without interruption for decades, backed by a global agricultural business spanning oilseeds, sweeteners, ethanol, and nutrition ingredients. ADM currently yields 2.45%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.07 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 19, 2026.

Archer-Daniels-Midland Company pays out 56.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, supported by ADM's diversified revenue base across food, animal feed, energy, and industrial markets, where demand for core commodities like corn, oilseeds, and wheat flour tends to be recurring. Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend safety faces its most direct test from commodity price volatility, which can compress processing margins and pressure earnings even when underlying demand holds steady.
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 8.5% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.655 to $2.04 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2025, a notable step down from the 26.3% jump recorded in 2014.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.4% | $1.60 (2022) | $2.04 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.2% | $1.44 (2020) | $2.04 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +6.2% | $1.12 (2015) | $2.04 (2025) |
ADM fits dividend investors who want a Dividend Aristocrat with a long, unbroken increase streak rather than a high headline yield. The current yield of 2.45% sits in the moderate (2-4%) range, above ADM's own 5-year average of 2.11%, which means income buyers are getting slightly more yield than the stock's recent norm. Twenty-seven consecutive years of increases is a meaningful data point. The trade-off is clear: growth has slowed to 2.0% in the most recent full year, so investors get Aristocrat-level reliability from a company processing everything from ethanol to probiotics, but not fast-rising income.
ADM is a Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of dividend increases.
