Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Deere is +6.44%.
Zacks Rank: Deere currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
Key Factors to Consider
Replacement demand for old equipment, increased spending on agricultural equipment as well as demand for Deere’s products with advanced technologies and features will likely reflect on the fiscal fourth quarter’s revenue numbers. Cost management, footprint assessment are likely to have supported the company’s margin during the to-be-reported quarter. However, uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic might have affected its quarterly performance. Moreover, cost related to the employee-separation program might have hurt the company.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Agriculture and Turf equipment segment’s quarterly net sales is currently pegged at $5,351 million, calling for a decline of 7% from the year-ago period. The Agriculture and Turf equipment segment’s operating income is projected at $419 million, down from the prior-year quarter’s $527 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Construction & Forestry segment’s sales is pegged at $2,034 million for the August-October period, suggesting a fall of 31% from the year-earlier quarter – reflecting the impact of the pandemic-induced market uncertainty. The Construction & Forestry segment is estimated to report an operating profit of $58 million, indicating a slump of 77.8%, year on year. The segment is expected to have seen a dismal fiscal fourth quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales of equipment operations (which comprise Agriculture and Turf, Construction and Forestry) is $7,385 million, calling for a year-over-year decline of 15.1%.

Deere’s shares have gained 45.2% over the past year, outperforming the industry’s growth of 42.5%.
Other Stocks Worth a Look
Here are some other stocks worth considering as these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM - Free Report) , currently a Zacks #2 Ranked stock, has an Earnings ESP of +11.79%.
Royal Bank of Canada (RY - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +7.30% and carries a Zacks Rank #3, currently.
