Deere & Co's stock increased by 3.00% and reached a 20-day high, despite the broader market decline with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.50% and the S&P 500 down 0.85%.
Analysts have expressed confidence in Deere's potential for revenue growth, projecting a 2% increase despite a recent warning of a 20% sales decline. This optimism is attributed to rising global infrastructure needs, positioning Deere to benefit from an eventual recovery in the sector. The company's strategic investments in infrastructure are seen as a key driver for future performance.
This positive outlook suggests that Deere may continue to attract investor interest, particularly as infrastructure spending is expected to rise, which could enhance its market position and financial performance.

Reason
Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann raised the firm's price target on Deere to $475 from $440 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares after management outlined a "sharpened 2030 framework" with "no major surprises" at the company's analyst day meeting. Deere targets 10% sales CAGR and 20% cycle average margins in 2030, notes the analyst, who sees shares already pricing in about $50 per share in EPS in 2030 at a price of $466. This suggests upside from here requires a cycle turn, the analyst added.

UBS analyst Steven Fisher reiterates a Buy rating and $535 price target on Deere shares following Q4 results and an outlook that were "directionally consistent with our expectations and establish 2026 as the ag bottom." Although the initial FY26 earnings guidance midpoint is slightly lower than the firm had modeled, UBS thinks the miss mainly reflects a weak Q1 in North America and it has more confidence in 2026 as the earnings bottom and in the 2027 recovery following the report, the analyst tells investors.
