Thanks for the additional color. I presume that many customers have had a better experience with DE's technology subscriptions than you did.

Staypositive1 Staypositive1 3 weeks ago
They do but they are now pricing it where it's unaffordable.   Everything is a subscription.   You don't own it and the year over year costs are way to expensive.   Half the time you have to have a tech out to re sync the system.   Cuts in and out everytime a fault code pops up.  It really is out of hand.

Trump threatens DE with_steep tariff on_equipment_imported_from Mexico:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-vows-call-xi-elected-194518506.html Deere earlier this year said it would lay off 503 workers in Illinois and 310 in Iowa as it faces rising operational costs and declining demand. It’s also acquiring land in Mexico to shift some production previously done in the US.

…“I’m just notifying John Deere right now, if you do that, we’re putting a 200% tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States,” Trump said Monday, citing reports about the company shifting manufacturing to Mexico. DE was -1.5% in AH trading.

Whose equipment will you buy instead?

Staypositive1 Staypositive1 2 months ago
This I know. I am or should I said was a loyal customer. We farm enough acres to afford 2 combines. We have owned deere equipment for 7 decades. They have made impossible to own their equipment anymore. It isn't reliable and parts are never in stock and they mark up the parts 4 and 500%....

1 combine to trade yoy was 60k 3 years ago, It jumped to 80k 2 years ago and to trade for 2025 it is now 120k....They are doing it to every customer. The inflation jumps they have taken have priced them out of the market. Prepare from a major backlash from the farming consumer. Belts have been tightened.

2023 was the peak of the ag cycle, so by comparison 2024 is "rough." But DE is much better equipped to make money throughout the ag cycle than they were a few years ago. That's the big story here, IMO.

DE reports FY3Q24 results—reiterates_FY2024*_guidance:

https://s22.q4cdn.com/253594569/files/doc_financials/2024/q3/DE-3Q24-News-Release.pdf

• FY2023 was a peak-cycle year in the agriculture-equipment market (which comprises ~70% of DE’s profits), and hence FY2024 is a down year, although still the second-best earnings year in the company's history, based on current guidance.

• FY3Q24 product sales (excluding revenue from DE’s finance unit) were $11.39B, -20% YoY, but above the Wall Street consensus figure of $10.9B.

• FY3Q24 GAAP EPS was $6.29, down from $10.10 in FY3Q23, but above the Wall Street consensus figure of $5.68.

• DE reiterated full-year FY2024 guidance of $7.0B net income. Based on ~275M diluted shares, the FY2024 net-income guidance equates to FY2024 GAAP EPS of $25.45, down from the actual $34.63 in FY2023.

At the current share price (~$377, +7%, as I’m typing), the FY2024 EPS guidance of $25.18 equates to a FY2024 P/E ratio of ~15.0x.

DE dials back on DEI:

https://www.wsj.com/business/deere-slashes-diversity-initiatives-after-backlash-from-conservative-activist-24424500 Deere, the world’s largest seller of farm equipment, said it would ensure the absence of what it described as “socially motivated messages” from company-mandated training materials and policies unless otherwise required. It also pledged to reaffirm that “the existence of diversity quotas and pronoun identification” aren’t, and never have been, company policy.

DE is a very different company than it was during previous downturns in the ag cycle. Yes, DE is still a cyclical company, but it is much better equipped to handle cyclical downturns than it used to be.

The one sector farmers will spend money on is planters.

In the conference call they made no mention of more layoffs or driving down inventory even further. Maybe I shouldn't have said lie. I should have said never told the whole truth.

I work in this sector and agriculture is in a MAJOR recession....Farmers have pretty much closed their checkbook. Inflation has hit them for the last 10 years and now interest rates are putting the squeeze on. Deere cannot avoid a major hit here. Layoffs aren't going to save them from this recession.

"At the most basic level, optionality just means having lots of options."

Deere lied on their conference call. This is going to end badly.

No direct mention of these were made in the earnings call, although there was much emphasis placed on cost control measures.

“We ended 2023 with really low levels of large tractor inventory, but we think it’s prudent to drive those levels even lower as we close out our 2024.

“The key here, is that by staying ahead of demand changes, we’re giving ourselves the optionality to react most efficiently to whichever way the market moves in the next year.”
