InvestingPro data shows the stock is trading at a high P/E multiple of 80.65x, while maintaining a solid financial position with a current ratio of 1.48.
The investment firm believes AGCO is pursuing a "very logical strategy" to gain market share in North America while maintaining its positions in South America and Europe.

UBS highlighted AGCO’s "unique offerings and good products," specifically mentioning FarmerCore as having "potential to drive a meaningful revenue impact and potentially disrupt the industry." The firm also noted positive progress with Trimble and expects cost reduction efforts to improve margins. According to InvestingPro, AGCO has maintained dividend payments for 13 consecutive years, demonstrating consistent shareholder returns.
The $119 price target represents a 15.5x price-to-earnings multiple on UBS’s estimated earnings per share of $7.70 for the second half of 2026 through first half of 2027.
Despite the positive strategic direction, UBS cited potential risks including tariffs and possible downside in North American markets if corn prices don’t rally by year-end, which could delay recovery or require additional inventory reductions.
