Revenue Growth: Weak Gross Margin: Average Net Margin: Negative Return on Equity: Negative Debt/Equity: High Risk

This page score and the strengths and concerns above are produced by deterministic, rule-based calculations from the available third-party financial inputs documented below. AI does not choose the score, strengths, or concerns. Data and automated summaries can contain errors. This is not personalized investment advice. See our methodology and disclaimer.

How this page score was calculated

The calculation starts at 50 points and applies the five fixed adjustments shown below. A missing input contributes zero. The current implementation also skips a provider-supplied numeric zero, which the table identifies separately. The pre-clamp result is 26; the published result is clamped to a minimum of 10 and maximum of 98, producing 26/100.

Sources, freshness, and limitations

This page was generated . The provider identifies the latest underlying financial period as June 30, 2026. The displayed market quote is dated September 18, 2026. Generation time is not the same as the date of the underlying filing or market observation.

Financial inputs may be delayed, restated, differently standardized by the data provider, or unavailable. Missing values receive no positive or negative adjustment rather than being estimated. This can make a sparse-data score less informative. The screen does not capture every business, market, valuation, or portfolio risk, and investors can lose money.

Recent Catalysts for FMC

5 data points sit outside the score itself but bear on FMC Corporation's next few quarters. They are reported here as observations, not predictions:

The provider-reported analyst mean target is $13.57 (+34.5% from the displayed price), based on 16 estimates. This is third-party opinion, not a StrongBuyAnalytics target.
The provider-reported third-party analyst consensus category is Buy; it is not a StrongBuyAnalytics recommendation.
The current provider record reports institutional ownership of 104.3%.
The current provider record reports a short ratio of 9.8 days to cover.
The current provider record reports a dividend yield of 3.14%.

Main Risks for FMC Investors

7 measurable risks showed up in FMC Corporation's numbers. This is not a complete list of what could go wrong — only what is visible in the data we score:

Revenue Growth (-17.5%)
Net Margin (-84.8%)
Return on Equity (-88.4%)
Debt/Equity (2.65)
The provider-reported beta is 0.42. A beta below 1 reflects smaller historical price moves relative to the provider's benchmark; it does not cap future gains or losses.
The provider-reported short ratio is 9.8 days to cover. Short-interest data can be delayed and may reflect hedging or other strategies, so it does not establish investor intent or future direction.
The reported debt-to-equity ratio is above 1. Higher leverage can increase sensitivity to weaker cash flow or higher borrowing costs, but the ratio requires company and industry context.

How to Interpret the FMC Fundamentals Score

FMC rates 26/100 on our five-factor fundamentals screen, which puts it in the "Caution" band. The band name describes a fixed range in this model; it is not a recommendation or prediction. The calculation above shows how each reported input affected the result.

26/100 · Caution band

FMC Corporation falls short on several of the measures we weight most heavily. Specifically: revenue growth (-17.5%), net margin (-84.8%). A low score reflects reported fundamentals only — it says nothing about the share price or about turnarounds already underway but not yet in the filings.

FMC Earnings & Revenue Outlook

FMC Corporation reported revenue decline of -17.5% year over year, against a Agricultural Inputs peer set where scale and pricing power vary widely. A shrinking top line is a direct drag on the score, and it raises the bar for everything else in the model.

FMC Fundamental Factors to Monitor

Lower current reading: The score is weighed down by revenue growth (-17.5%) and net margin (-84.8%). Changes in those reported figures, rather than share-price movement, would change this screen.

  • Revenue Growth (-17.5%)
  • Net Margin (-84.8%)
  • Return on Equity (-88.4%)
  • Debt/Equity (2.65)
