FMC Corp's stock experienced a steep pre-market plunge of around 18% on Wednesday, following the company's disappointing guidance for the first quarter and full year 2025, along with growing concerns over inventory destocking across various regions.
For the first quarter of 2025, FMC Corp projected revenue in the range of $750 million to $800 million, significantly lower than analysts' expectations of around $963.7 million. The company also guided for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) between 5 cents and 15 cents, well below the consensus estimate of 83 cents.
The weak guidance for the full year 2025 added to the concerns, with FMC Corp forecasting revenue between $4.15 billion and $4.35 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $4.4 billion. The company's adjusted EPS guidance of $3.26 to $3.70 fell far short of the consensus of $4.36.
