This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

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.

TRADE

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.

Our PAST TOP PICK with DE is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $320) to $357 at this time.  

HOLD

Not exactly undervalued. Volatile. Range-bound until recent uptrend. Impacted by commodity prices and interest rates. Cost-cutting, lowering forecasts. Business remains under pressure. 11% upside to street's target. Wait to see where the stock's going. Yield of 1.5%.

BUY

One of top ideas. Great company that underpins industrial economy. Excellent chart that is representing a good buying opportunity. Would buy this stock.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

In a time of growing global agricultural demand, DE is well positioned.  It has invested $2.2 billion into research for innovations that allow farmers to reduce input costs and their environmental footprint.  It trades at 15x earnings and supports a robust 41% ROE.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $320, looking to achieve $425 -- upside potential of 60%.  Yield 1.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $425.94)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 11/23, Down 9%)

He sold in July. Crop prices falling, input costs were sticky, farmers' margins started to get squeezed. Interest rates were high, with no clear idea when they'd start to drop.

HOLD

Has owned this for a while, but the agriculture cycle is over. He's held onto this because it's a different ag company. That said, the ag background is highly bearish.

BUY

Why is this a battleground stock? They ripped the band-aid off their last report and set future earnings at a proper level, but see a low bar in their forecast: 12x forward PE. Crop prices have been weak for a while, but that's the best time to buy Deere.

SELL

He sold it because he expects weak global growth in the first half of 2024 which will impact the international industrial names. He's getting more defensive in industrials and he sold Deere on strength last month.

HOLD
They reported a beat but lowered guidance.

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.

BUY

They reported a beat but lowered guidance. This remains a good company that is simply being cautious, which may be warranted in the face of the lag effect of Fed comments, but will be short-lived. They have set a bar they can easily clear. A buy.

DON'T BUY

It's been challenging for him. The agriculture and commodity cycle is in trouble due to weakening demand. Perilous.

DON'T BUY

Agriculture prices are much lower than last year, so farmers are no longer spending a lot of money in capex. But Deere is also in construction.

PARTIAL BUY
Current weakness, buy?

Great long-term investment, because long term we gotta feed the world. Buy some and wait.
