Core Viewpoint - Analysts have raised price forecasts for Deere & Company following stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, despite a year-over-year decline in net sales and revenue [1][2].

Margin and Cost Considerations - The analyst highlighted that the PP&A margin guidance for the second half of 2025 was the most surprising aspect of the recent quarter and outlook [3]. - Despite a new $100 million impact from tariff-related costs, the analyst believes the implied decremental margin assumption of around 80% will ultimately prove conservative [4].
