About FMC CORP

FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC) is a U.S.-listed agricultural sciences company trading on the NYSE in the United States. The company is best understood today as a specialized crop protection and plant health platform rather than a broad industrial conglomerate. Its principal executive offices are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and FMC was incorporated in 1928 under Delaware law. That said, the company’s heritage goes back much further: FMC traces its roots to 1883, when John Bean founded Bean Spray Pump Company and developed an early piston-pump insecticide sprayer. This legacy gives FMC a long operating history in agricultural chemistry, formulation expertise, and delivery systems. FMC operates in one distinct business segment. Its core portfolio spans the three major classes of crop protection chemicals: insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In addition, FMC sells biologicals, crop nutrition products, and seed treatment solutions, which it groups under plant health. The company emphasizes innovation, sustainable chemistry, and technology-led differentiation, with an R&D pipeline aimed at new active ingredients, product formulations, and precision technologies. For growers, that means FMC is focused on helping improve yield, resilience, and crop protection effectiveness across a broad range of farming systems. From a competitive standpoint, FMC describes itself as a tier-one leader in the global agrochemicals and crop protection market. It competes against other major international agricultural science companies, but it seeks to differentiate through proprietary technologies, a focused crop and geography mix, and intellectual property protection. The business is internationally diversified, with sales and operations across multiple regions, which helps the company balance the highly seasonal nature of agriculture. FMC also highlights its discovery pipeline and its brand portfolio as key assets supporting long-term competitiveness. Recent developments have been important for investors. In 2025 and 2026, FMC continued to reshape its portfolio, including actions around its India commercial business and the announcement of an agreement to divest that business, while also stating it was exploring broader strategic options. Recent earnings updates have reflected restructuring charges, portfolio optimization actions, and one-time commercial adjustments, signaling a company in transition. FMC has also reported ongoing product and regulatory progress, including approvals and collaborations that support its crop protection pipeline. For investors in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, FMC is therefore a globally exposed agricultural input company whose outlook depends on crop demand, pricing, innovation, regulation, and execution of its restructuring and portfolio actions.
