Deere & Co (DE) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term focus at this time. While the company has positive long-term growth prospects and industry recovery signals, the recent financial performance, insider selling, and lack of strong proprietary trading signals suggest waiting for a clearer entry point.
The technical indicators show mixed signals. The MACD is positive and contracting, suggesting potential upward momentum. The RSI is neutral at 73.359, and the moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). However, the stock is trading near resistance levels (R1: 613.109) and has seen a recent regular market decline of -2.38%.
Deere's 2026 Startup Collaborator Program highlights its focus on technological advancements in agriculture and construction.
Analysts like Morgan Stanley and UBS see long-term growth potential, with price targets raised to $560 and $535, respectively.
Congress trading data shows balanced activity, with significant purchase transactions in the last 90 days.
Insiders are selling heavily, with a 384.66% increase in selling activity over the last month.
Recent financial performance shows declining net income (-14.46% YoY), EPS (-13.63% YoY), and gross margin (-12.52% YoY) in Q4
Analysts like Evercore ISI and Citi highlight near-term challenges, including weak Q1 guidance and a slow recovery in agricultural equipment demand.
In Q4 2025, Deere's revenue increased by 11.22% YoY to $12.39B. However, net income dropped by -14.46% YoY to $1.07B, and EPS fell by -13.63% to $3.93. Gross margin also declined by -12.52% to 35.9%, indicating profitability challenges despite revenue growth.
Analyst sentiment is mixed. While Morgan Stanley and UBS are optimistic about long-term growth, Evercore ISI and Citi highlight near-term challenges. Price targets range from $458 to $560, with a median around $515, reflecting cautious optimism.
