FMC Corp (symbol: FMC-N) is a company facing significant challenges, as highlighted by its market performance. With a market cap of $4 billion, the stock has plummeted 47% over the past year, landing it at a valuation of just 9 times earnings. Despite a relatively generous dividend yield of 7.2%, the company's financial health is concerning due to extremely high debt levels, exceeding 10 times its recent cash flow. Earnings appear to have stagnated, with 2026 estimated EPS projected to be lower than it was seven years ago. Although Q2 results were decent and guidance was affirmed, negative free cash flow has persisted on a 12-month basis, raising doubts about growth potential, especially in a slowing global economy. Given the upcoming year-end tax selling pressures, experts advise caution regarding this investment.

FMC, $4B market cap, down 47% in the past year, is very cheap at 9X earnings, with a 7.2% dividend. But debt is extremely high (more than 10X recent 12-month cash flow) and earnings have stalled. 2026E EPS is expected to be less than it was seven years ago. The Q2 was decent, but free cash flow has been running negative on a 12-month basis. It did affirm guidance, but this is really a debt issue. If the global economy slows, their business is not likely to see big growth, but of course the debt will still be there. Going into year end tax selling we would sit this one out. We have no idea how Morningstar sees it tripling.
