Hold On To FMC Corporation (Rating Downgrade)

  • We assess FMC Corporation as a Hold to moderate buy, downgrading from a previous buy opportunity due to weak growth, momentum, and financial potential. FMC's strengths are its innovation, R&D focus, and attractive 5.4% dividend yield, but revenue and profit have declined for several years. FMC valuation is fair around $50 per share, but insider and hedge fund selling, high debt, and weak near-term growth limit upside.
