Heading into today, shares of the agricultural equipment manufacturer had gained 3.18% over the past month, lagging the Industrial Products sector's gain of 5.88% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.69% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $7.08 billion, up 8.38% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $13.16 per share and revenue of $35.13 billion, which would represent changes of +51.44% and +12.35%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for DE. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.
