Earnings Call Summary
Deere reported 13.4 billion dollars in revenue, up 5 percent year over year, beating consensus by 1.5 billion dollars. Equipment margins reached 16.9 percent, helped by a 272 million dollar tariff refund. Construction and Forestry surged 29 percent with an order book up more than 60 percent, while Large Ag remains weak with a 14 percent sales decline. Management said tariff exposure stays around 900 million dollars net for the year, and they are managing through by cutting costs and finding new sourcing, not raising prices to customers.
Guidance Deere maintained its full year net income guidance between $4.5 billion and $5 billion. The company raised Construction and Forestry sales outlook to up about 20 percent, but kept Large Ag flat around the bottom of the cycle. They expect the back half of the year to be stronger than the first half, with better price and cost comparisons.
Slightly positive report. The quarter was acceptable, but the forward setup is not strong.
Dividend
Deere & Company offers an annual dividend rate of $6.48, yielding 0.95%. The dividend payout ratio is 36.02%, and the company continues to provide value to its shareholders through regular dividends.
