Shares of Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) have slipped almost 10% today after first-quarter earnings were well short of Wall Street expectations.

Excluding items, the agribusiness company's earnings of 37 cents per share missed the reduced consensus by 14 cents.

Sales declined 21% to $14.8 billion, as sluggish demand for agricultural commodities such as oilseeds and corn led to lower average selling prices.

One out of 9 covering analysts increased full-year estimates over the past month, which caused the consensus to move up a penny to $3.54 per share.

Meanwhile, next year's average estimate is pegged at $2.77 per share, which has moved lower from $2.79 over the past 2 months.

ADM, a Zacks #3 Rank ("Hold") stock, is trading on volume of approximately 8.3 million, which is higher than the daily average volume of about 6.2 million.
