FMC Corp. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $31.00

FMC Corp., a small-cap player in the Chemicals & Petrochemicals industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 31.00 as of October 7, 2025. This significant decline reflects a challenging year for the company, with its stock price plummeting by 43.41% over the past year, starkly contrasting with the S&P 500's performance of 17.2% during the same period.
The company's financial metrics reveal a concerning trend, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.00 and a dividend yield of 4.15%. However, the return on equity stands at a modest 4.37%, indicating limited profitability relative to shareholder equity. Additionally, FMC Corp. has reported a negative annual growth rate of -7.18% in operating profit over the last five years, raising questions about its long-term growth prospects.

Recent financial results have also been disappointing, with a net profit of USD 67.87 million reflecting a decline of 41.74%. The operating cash flow has reached a low of USD 31.9 million, and the return on capital employed is at its lowest at 2.88%. These factors contribute to the company's consistent underperformance against market benchmarks, marking a challenging period for FMC Corp.
