FMC: Executive Chairman Pierre Brondeau Appointed CEO

Seth Goldstein

FMC announced Executive Chairman Pierre Brondeau was appointed to the CEO role. He was previously CEO from 2010-20. He has been FMC's board chairman since 2010. The company also reaffirmed its previously announced second-quarter revenue and earnings guidance. Our forecast already assumed FMC would hit its guidance as we expect its sales and profits will show an improvement in the second quarter and generate year-over-year growth in the second half of the year. Additionally, as Brondeau has been executive chairman, we see no reason to change our outlook for FMC. Accordingly, we maintain our $110 fair value estimate. Our narrow moat rating and Standard Morningstar Capital Allocation Rating are also unchanged.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

FMC has transformed its portfolio to focus on crop chemicals, which should see strong growth prospects as yield gains are needed to support rising food consumption from emerging markets.

Bears

FMC's patents have begun to expire for its two largest molecules. This will weigh on long-term profits as the company will face declining sales and margin compression from the patent expirations.
