Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend investors are looking at one of the largest agricultural processors in the world, a company that sources, processes, and distributes commodities like corn, oilseeds, and wheat across dozens of countries. ADM currently pays a 2.54% dividend yield, with a trailing annual rate of $2.07 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 19, 2026. With a beta of 0.612, ADM stock moves well below the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize lower volatility over maximum yield.
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 spanning food ingredients, animal feed, ethanol, and industrial vegetable oils, all of which serve recurring demand across multiple end markets. Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend safety faces its most direct test from commodity price swings, which can compress processing margins and pressure earnings even when the underlying business volume holds steady.
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company dividend history shows a CAGR of 8.5% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per share, the annual dividend grew from $0.655 to $2.04 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2025, which signals that recent growth has slowed considerably from the 26.3% peak increase 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 payment record rather than a high current yield. The yield sits at 2.54%, a moderate (2-4%) level that runs above the stock's own 5-year average of 2.19%, meaning buyers today are getting a slightly better entry yield than the historical norm. Twenty-seven consecutive years of dividend increases anchor the income case. The trade-off is straightforward: Archer-Daniels-Midland Company stock offers a well-established payout with a moderate payout ratio of 56.6%, but recent growth has slowed to low single digits, which limits how fast income compounds from here.
ADM is a Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of dividend increases.
