Deere: The Hard Part May Already Be Over

Deere is rated Buy, viewed as undervalued, with strong AI-driven and cyclical tailwinds supporting double-digit growth and potential benchmark outperformance. DE posted its fifth consecutive double-beat, with small ag & turf and construction & forestry segments delivering 16% and 29% YoY sales growth, respectively. Management anticipates 15–20% sales growth in key segments and margin expansion, while share repurchases and debt reduction remain priorities.
