"Other bottom contributors in Q1 included Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM). Shares of agricultural commodities and products company ADM sold off materially following the announcement its CFO had been put on administrative leave due to inter-segment financial reporting issues (particularly related to the nutrition segment) and the SEC had an open investigation into the matter. ADM has since published its fiscal year 2023 10-K, which included restatements of inter-segment operating profits from 2018-2023. Since this was an inter-segment issue, the consolidated financials did not need to be restated. While we are watching further developments, we remain comfortable with the business valuation at the current level."
