FMC raises $750M in secured notes to ease leverage as dividend slashed 86%

FMC Corporation has raised $750 million through senior secured notes due 2031, issued under Regulation S and Rule 144A with guarantees. The fixed-income offering aims to strengthen the company's financial position and provide flexibility for operations, debt management and potential growth initiatives. The financing comes alongside a sharp dividend cut announced in April 2026, from $0.58 to $0.08 per share, signalling management's focus on cash preservation and balance sheet repair. FMC faces elevated leverage and weak interest coverage, making debt management the key near-term catalyst. Whilst the bond issue may ease short-term liquidity pressure, the company's investment narrative still depends on restoring profitability and cash generation in its crop protection business. Some analysts project FMC could reach $4.5 billion in revenue and $429 million in earnings.
