Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend history spans 44 years, backed by a global agricultural business processing oilseeds, corn, wheat, and a broad range of food and nutrition ingredients. ADM currently pays $2.06 per share annually, distributed quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on May 20, 2026. The current yield sits at 2.68%. A Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of increases, ADM stock carries a beta of 0.603, making it a lower-volatility option for income-focused investors.
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company pays out 92.0% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). ADM's operations span food, animal feed, energy, and industrial markets, with demand for commodities like vegetable oils, sweeteners, and ethanol spread across multiple end-use sectors, which provides a broad revenue base supporting the current payout level. Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend safety is the key question at this ratio: a payout this close to 100% leaves little room for earnings pressure without forcing a reassessment of the dividend.
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 period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2025, which is a meaningful step down from the 8.5% long-run average and signals that growth has slowed sharply in recent years.
| 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 stock fits dividend investors who prioritize a long unbroken increase streak over aggressive yield or fast growth. The yield is moderate (2-4%) at 2.68%, sitting above its 5-year average of 2.32%, which reflects recent price weakness rather than a dividend acceleration. As a Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of increases, ADM brings a degree of commitment to the payout that few agricultural companies can match. The trade-off is real: a 92.0% payout ratio and a 2.0% increase in 2025 mean the dividend is growing slowly and has limited financial cushion, so investors get income continuity but not meaningful dividend expansion.
ADM is a Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of dividend increases.
