Had to look up this company and figure out what they do and why they are different from ADM Animal Nutrition.  It is the overarching company of all things ADM.  Which includes "Human Nutrition".

\That doesn't mean they are cooking pizza and hamburgers, but they make the items to help with things like texture.  You know those ingredients that you can't read on the package of food you are buying.  They make a lot of those.  Emulsifiers, hydrocolloids, acidulants, "flavors" and more.  Yum.

The Chicago-based company will bring in $93,900,000 in revenue.

Walgreens has $139,000,000 in revenue coming in for 2024.  That is not from all the stores.  That includes everything under the umbrella for the Deerfield, Illinois company.  With that much revenue coming in you might things are great.  However, the company is struggling with retail stores and closing locations across America.
