More Deere & Company News

Here are the key news stories impacting Deere & Company this week:

• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks Research keeps a “Hold” rating on DE while updating estimates; the firm’s published note and related write-ups summarize the changes rather than issuing an outright downgrade of the stock.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut FY2026 EPS to $16.74 from $18.83 and trimmed FY2027 to $21.55 from $24.20 — a meaningful downward revision to multi-year earnings expectations that can reduce investor confidence and valuation support. Article Title
• Negative Sentiment: Big cuts to near-term quarters: Q1 2026 EPS cut to $1.99 from $2.83 (largest single-quarter downgrade), and Q2–Q4 2026 estimates were also lowered (Q2: $5.55 from $5.97; Q3: $4.75 from $5.26; Q4: $4.45 from $4.78). These lower quarterly expectations raise the risk that upcoming reports may miss the market’s prior assumptions.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks also trimmed mid‑2027 quarterly projections (Q2 2027 to $6.19 from $7.24; Q3 2027 to $5.68 from $6.44), signaling the research team expects weaker farm-equipment demand/margin recovery than previously modeled.
