  • 3 Machinery Companies You Must Buy With Improving Economy

    By Madhu Dube - June 18, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, MTW, TEX

    Global economic recovery provides better future prospects for the machinery industry. According to the IMF, the world economy is expected to grow at a rate of 3.3% in 2013 and 4% in 2014. With this growth, the U.S. machinery industry is projected to grow at 1.9% this year and 3% in 2014. I have analyzed three machinery companies in this article, looking at their growth prospects for more »

  • What Is Going on With Farm Machinery Stocks?

    By Zain Abbas - May 28, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CNH, DE

    The agriculture industry has been receiving some negative sentiment after Deere & Company’s (NYSE: DE) earnings release, as the giant agriculture machinery producer warned the market about deteriorating fundamentals for agricultural commodities in the near term.

    Since then, the company has received a downgrade from Wells Fargo, Barrons, and Goldman Sachs. However, what was interesting to note was that Deere got the maximum punishment -- neither AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) nor CNH more »

  • The Perfect Time to Get This Stock on Your Radar

    By Neha Chamaria - May 21, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CAT, CNH, DE, TEX

    Record quarterly numbers that easily trampled Street estimates should have ideally charged up the bulls. Instead, Deere’s (NYSE: DE) stock has lost about 7% since it announced results last week. The markets behaved as unpredictably in February when Deere’s stock was punished for another record quarter.

    What is wrong with the market? Wasn't the cautious outlook expected? It doesn't even sound as murky as the market more »

  • 3 Ways to Invest in Agriculture

    By Phillip Woolgar - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, DE, MOS

    With the growing global middle class, the world's food crises is set to worsen over the coming years. That means huge potential for agriculture stocks, as food demand increases and the prices go up in stride. 

    The planet currently has about 1.1 acres of arable land per person--that's down from 2.8 acres in 1960. In 2030, scientists estimate there will only be 0.8 acres of more »

  • More Gains Ahead? Insiders Provide Clues on a Business Turnaround

    By John Macris - April 26, 2013 | Tickers: AVAV, AGCO, WTSL

    In the course of daily news flow, special situations emerge in the stock market that create unprecedented buying and selling opportunities. American educator and professional speaker Stephen Covey often spoke of his 90/10 Principle, which states that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

    Mr. Covey’s principle certainly holds true in the stock market, as investors are greeted with the more »

  • Insiders Are Buying These 2 Stocks Heavily...Should You?

    By Adem Tahiri - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, DE, NAV

    Following large, recent, insider buying is a fun way to screen for stocks. It's not scientific, and shouldn’t be a central investment thesis, but it can be a very bullish sign. In fact, many studies have shown that stocks of companies with heavy insider buying go on to outperform the market by as much as 7%.

    I’ve combed through the stocks with large, recent insider purchases. Here more »

  • Are You Prepared This Time?

    By Piyush Arora - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CNH, DE

    Editor's Note: This version has been modified to address CNH Global's price appreciation.

    Last year’s drought brought upon a massive destruction of crop yield, which sent crop prices to 6 year highs. This year is turning no different, as the weather reports suggest that last year’s drought may very well continue in 2013. This would certainly send fertilizer companies soaring, but agricultural equipment providers like Deere more »

  • Massive Insider Buys By A Director

    By Mike Thiessen - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, DE, KUB

    Although large insider buys are a fairly common occurrence at publicly traded companies, it is rare for a game-changing accumulation to occur within the space of a few weeks. However, this is exactly what has happened at AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), an Atlanta-based manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment. Since late March, a company director named Mallika Srinivasan has purchased millions of shares of the company's stock and recently more »

  • Contrarian Outlook on the Farm-Machinery Sector

    By Zain Abbas - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CNH, DE

    Agriculture-related stocks have been falling since a recent downgrade by Wells Fargo. Analysts believe that weaker commodity prices are going to lead to weakness in US farm equipment sales. This idea is based on the premise that agriculture-related machinery sales are directly correlated to farmers' incomes. Recent presentations given by a couple of farm-machinery companies at the Goldman Sachs Agriculture Conference, however, have confused the market altogether. I have listed more »

  • Is AGCO a Buy?

    By Alex Bastardas - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CNH, DE

    AGCO Corp (NYSE: AGCO) is a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. It has recently experienced heavy insider buying, and fundamentals suggest that the stock could be in bargain territory. Should investors follow the insiders on this one?

    Insider Buying

    On March 22, Director Mallika Srinivasan bought 172,833 shares of AGCO, at an average price of $50.91 each, which works out to a more »

  • Nothing Runs Like a Deere

    By Joseph Solitro - March 18, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CNH, DE

    Deere (NYSE: DE) reported first quarter earnings on Feb. 13 and they widely beat analyst expectations. Earnings per share came in at $1.65, beating the estimates of $1.40 by 17.9%, and was a 26.9% increase year-over-year. Deere increased its outlook for 2013, although it was an increase that was lower-than-expected because of the drought and corn issues in the Midwest.

  • Stocks are at Record Highs—but You Can Still Find Growth, Safely

    By Adem Tahiri - March 8, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, DVYE, EWC, POT, RBL

    With the stock market at record highs, should you be loading up—or should you lock in gains?

    And like most good questions, there’s not a simple answer.  On one hand, S&P 500 companies grew earnings 6% in the most recent quarter. On the other hand, GDP only rose a scant 0.01%, and much of the corporate earnings “growth” was from cost cutting—not top line revenue more »

  • Should Joy Investors Be Jumping For Joy?

    By Marshall Hargrave - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CAT, CNH, DE, JOY

    Joy Global (NYSE: JOY) spiked 6% earlier this week after posting a quarterly profit that came in above analysts' expectations. The mining equipment maker posted EPS of $1.31, compared to consensus of $1.14. However, Joy investors are not out of the woods just yet.

    In conjunction with the earnings release, Joy's CEO cautioned investors about over-optimism:

  • Why This Stock’s Recent Dip Should Excite You

    By Neha Chamaria - February 18, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CAT, DE, MTW, TEX

    Alexander Pope’s words ring loud in my ears – “Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” 

    The poet’s works have found a considerable space for themselves on my book shelf, but that’s not what prompted me to recall these oft-quoted words. It’s what happened to John Deere’s (NYSE: DE) stock in the past couple of days that brought them back.

  • This Big Cat Won’t Catch This Deere

    By Spencer Knight - February 13, 2013 | Tickers: AGCO, CAT, DE

    Deere  (NYSE: DE) reported solid first quarter earnings on Feb. 27 -- well, at least until a discussion about corn and soybean prices came about.  Nevertheless, the company's strong performanceindicates that the current state of the machinery and agricultural market is stabilizing and growing. 

    AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) supports this claim as the firm’s year end results were also strong.  The discussion regarding lower corn and soybean prices is simply more »
