May 6 (Reuters) - Grain trader Archer-Daniels-Midland ( ADM )

on Tuesday beat Wall Street expectations for

first-quarter profit, helped by robust performance in its

nutrition segment.

The Chicago-based company posted an adjusted profit of 70

cents per share for the three months ended March 31, compared

with analysts' average estimate of 67 cents, according to data

compiled by LSEG.
