GET DAILY SIGNALSDeere (DE, $200.79) beats Q3 earnings estimates; boosts 2020 guidance
Deere & Co. reported third quarter earnings that beat expectations. The maker of agricultural machinery also boosted its full-year outlook.
Deere’s adjusted earnings for the three months ending August 2 came in at $2.57 per share, compared to analysts’ expectation of $1.25 per share. The figure is, however, -8.5% lower from the same period last year.
Revenues fell -11% year-over-year to $8.925 billion, exceeding analysts' forecasts of $6.703 billion.
Looking ahead, the company’s outlook into the end of the 2020 fiscal year sees worldwide agriculture and turf equipment sales declining -10% from last year's levels, a less pessimistic outlook than its prior guidance. According to Deere, construction and forestry equipment sales are likely to fall -25%, compared to the -40% fall predicted in the spring.
Net income is likely to come in at $2.25 billion, compared to a May forecast range of between $1.6 billion and $2 billion.
“Although unsettled market conditions and related customer uncertainty are expected to have a moderating effect on key markets in the near term, we believe Deere is well-positioned to help make our customers more profitable and sustainable,” CEO John May said. “In addition, we are encouraged by the early benefits we are experiencing from the company’s recently launched smart-industrial operating model. We’re confident it will help accelerate our ability to deliver differentiated solutions to our customers, while contributing to improved efficiencies across the company.”
