FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC)
Overview
E may = mc2, but FMC = chemicals. Once in areas as diverse as oil field equipment and food machinery, FMC Corporation now focuses on industrial, specialty, and agricultural chemicals. The company's industrial chemicals include soda ash (it's one of the largest producers), hydrogen peroxide, and phosphorus chemicals. The rest of its sales come from agricultural products (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides) and specialty chemicals (food and pharmaceutical additives). FMC's equation has improved after a few years' effort to increase its efficiency, profitability, and credit rating. The company conducted a strategic review of its business in 2010 and developed a long-term plan for growth.
