Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM - Free Report) , a leading player in the global food processing industry, released third-quarter 2016 results, wherein adjusted earnings of 59 cents a share came substantially ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents, while it slipped 1.7% from 60 cents earned in the year-ago quarter.
Earnings Estimate Revision: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2016 and 2017 has been portraying an uptrend over the past 7 days. However, Archer Daniels’ performance in the trailing four quarters (excluding the quarter under review) gives a negative picture, with an average surprise miss of 7.7%.

Revenues: Archer Daniels generated net sales of $15,832 million, which was down 4.4% year over year. Also, revenues fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16,052.3 million.
Key Events: During the quarter, Archer Daniels purchased Lake Bluff, IL-based Caterina Foods, which manufactures gluten-free and high-protein pastas.

The company also increased its stake in Wilmar to 23%.
Further, Archer Daniels implemented roughly $250 million of new run-rate savings initiatives, and anticipates exceeding its goal of achieving run-rate savings of $275 million by calendar end.
