FMC Corporation: Deep-value play emerges after 83% dividend cut amid agricultural headwinds

FMC Corporation, an agricultural sciences company, has emerged as a potential deep-value opportunity following an 83% dividend cut and severe sell-off driven by agricultural demand weakness and pricing pressures. Trading at $16.02 with a forward P/E of 7.18, the stock reflects significant market pessimism. Despite third-quarter 2025 revenue declining materially, adjusted earnings improved year-over-year through cost controls and favourable product mix. However, the company faces substantial balance sheet risk with approximately $4.5 billion in debt against expected EBITDA of $850 million, pushing leverage above 5×. Management is prioritising debt reduction through potential divestitures, including its India business, whilst maintaining investment in new active ingredients and biological products. The investment case depends on agricultural cycle recovery and successful deleveraging execution. Hedge fund ownership declined from 43 to 35 funds in the third quarter.
