On Monday, we�ll get to see earnings out of Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (NYSE:ADM). The estimates from First Call for the agriculture giant are $0.74 EPS on $12.65 Billion in revenues. Estimates for fiscal June 2008 are $2.70 EPS on $52.27 billion in revenues.
Analysts have an average price target of $47. If Friday’s closing prices are any indicator and if the earnings were coming out immediately, it appears that options traders would be pricing in a move of up to $2.00 in either direction.
We’ve covered this one before, although we were skeptical of any buyout rumor. We still are, although a buyer would have done well in the stock. As a $29 Billion company and one of the larger beneficiaries of ethanol, we’d be watching some of the other ethanol stocks like Andersons Inc (NASDAQ: ANDE), Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc. (NYSE: AVR), Cosan Limited (NYSE:CZZ), BioFuel Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: BIOF), Pacific Ethanol (NASDAQ: PEIX), US BioEnergy Corporation (NASDAQ:USBE), VeraSun Energy Corp (NYSE: VSE), and others.
Archer-Daniels-Midland�s 52-week trading range is $31.28 to $47.33.
