Deere & Co. (DE) has received mixed reviews from experts, highlighting its significant rise of 31% over the last six months, which some believe may continue. However, concerns about the company's cyclical nature and its dependency on agricultural factors such as fertilizer prices, tariffs, and fuel costs are prevalent. While some analysts still recognize the stability of Deere's business, they suggest exploring other options in the infrastructure sector, with Caterpillar (CAT) being a preferred alternative. Despite a strong earnings report and optimistic long-term projections, recent disappointing guidance for 2026 has led to skepticism about its immediate future. Experts recommend exercising caution; while some see an opportunity to buy at lower prices, others advise to wait until after upcoming reports.
Looking back 2-3 years, bounces back and forth between $340 and $430. Recent downswing from April-July, finding support around $350. However, started to bounce over last 2 days, encouraging. First resistance $410-415, next at $430-435, with the $400 round number in between. Trading upswing within a long-term trading range.
The momentum is broken. Something has changed in the past year: maybe the agricultural cycle has deteriorated, replacing tractors has declined given high interest rates maybe. The balance sheet... It checks all the boxes. Good fundamentals. But if stocks remain like this at the end of January, he will sell in his quarterly rebalancing.
Our PAST TOP PICK with DE is progressing well. To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $357) to $380 at this time.
