Investing.com -- Deere & Company reported better-than-expected second quarter results on Monday, but lowered the bottom end of its full-year net income forecasted range amid challenging market conditions. The agricultural equipment maker’s stock edged up 1% following the news.

Deere (NYSE:DE) posted adjusted earnings per share of $6.64 for the quarter ended April 27, 2025, surpassing analyst estimates of $5.56. Revenue came in at $12.76 billion, beating the consensus forecast of $10.98 billion.

The company highlighted decreased shipment volumes across its segments, particularly in Production & Precision Agriculture, where sales fell 21% YoY. Despite the challenges, Deere maintained strong operating margins in its key divisions.

"As we navigate the current environment, our customers remain our top priority," said John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere. "I’m incredibly proud of our team’s execution this quarter, delivering exceptional performance despite challenging market dynamics."

Deere revised its full-year net income guidance to a range of $4.75 billion to $5.50 billion from $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion, broadening the outlook in response to the dynamic market environment. 

Despite near-term headwinds, May expressed confidence in Deere’s long-term prospects: "Over the next decade, we will continue to make significant investments in our core U.S. market, underscoring our dedication to innovation and growth while focusing on remaining cost-competitive in a global market."
