Description: DE Deere September 25, 2025
Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of equipment across four operating segments: Production & Precision Agriculture, Small Agriculture & Turf, Construction & Forestry, and Financial Services. The firm, founded in 1837 and headquartered in Moline, Illinois, serves global customers ranging from large grain growers to construction contractors and turf managers.
In FY 2024 the company reported revenue of roughly **$55 billion**, with an operating margin of **≈ 12 %** and free cash flow of **$8 billion**. The Production & Precision Agriculture segment remains the revenue engine, accounting for about **55 %** of total sales, while the Construction & Forestry segment contributed roughly **20 %**. The Financial Services arm generated **$1.3 billion** in net interest income, reflecting a **backlog of ≈ $30 billion** in equipment orders that provides visibility into near-term demand.
Key economic drivers for DE include: (1) **Commodity price trends**-higher corn and soybean prices boost farmer capital spending on high-margin precision equipment; (2) **U.S. construction spending**, which is sensitive to Federal Reserve policy-recently, a 3-point rise in 10-year Treasury yields has modestly dampened new-equipment orders; and (3) **Supply-chain resilience**, where Deere’s vertical integration and strong dealer network give it a competitive edge in a market still recovering from semiconductor shortages. Assuming commodity prices stay above the 5-year average and construction activity stabilizes, the company’s earnings outlook remains favorable, though a sustained rise in interest rates could pressure financing volumes.
