What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, FMC shows mild improvement in both revenue and margins, but the magnitude of change is narrow — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement widens in coming periods.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.85x equity, net debt at 0.16x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 884.7bn, roughly 18.3% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 262.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 20.4%.
Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 217.0bn versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.85x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 20.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
