MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Deere & Company:

  • Deere & Company recently reported strong quarterly results on August 20, 2026, beating consensus estimates with earnings per share of $5.10 compared to the expected $4.69, while revenue of $12.61 billion also exceeded the $10.81 billion forecast, demonstrating robust fundamental performance.
  • Several major financial institutions have recently upgraded their outlooks on the stock, including Evercore raising its rating to "outperform" with a price target of $813.00 and Baird upgrading to "outperform" on August 31, 2026, citing a potential recovery in agricultural fundamentals and stronger equipment demand.
  • The stock is currently trading at $692.68, which is near its 52-week high of $705.88, reflecting a significant year-to-date gain of over 35% and indicating strong market momentum and investor confidence in the company's trajectory.
  • Institutional investors are increasing their exposure to the company, with Raiffeisen Bank International AG boosting its stake by 9.2% in the second quarter and BlackRock Inc. acquiring a new stake valued at approximately $11.76 billion, signaling broad institutional support.
  • Deere & Company maintains a consistent dividend policy, having recently declared a quarterly dividend of $1.62 per share with a payout ratio of 36.00%, providing a stable income stream for investors while retaining earnings for growth.

Deere & Company
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Deere & Company for these reasons:

  • The company is trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio of 38.48, which is significantly elevated compared to historical averages, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued and leaving little room for error if future earnings growth slows.
  • Legal uncertainty remains a risk as farmers have begun filing claims related to a Deere settlement, which could create a financial overhang and potential liabilities for the company despite the immediate impact not yet being specified.
  • Short interest in the stock has been fluctuating, with shares shorted reaching 5,067,132 as of the August 14, 2026 record date, indicating that a portion of the market remains skeptical about the sustainability of the recent price rally.
  • Insider selling activity has been notable, with CEO John C. May II selling 41,472 shares at an average price of $501.49 in January 2026 and another 11,106 shares in November 2025, which some investors may interpret as a lack of confidence in the current valuation.
  • The company faces a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.45, which, while manageable, indicates a significant level of leverage that could constrain financial flexibility in a volatile economic environment or if interest rates remain elevated.
