What the Pro's Are Asking

Here are the questions that professional investors are asking before making an investment decision.

The primary driver of John Deere’s revenue is the demand for agricultural machinery. This demand is influenced by factors such as global food production needs, commodity prices, and farm income levels. When farmers have higher income, they are more likely to invest in new equipment, driving sales for John Deere. The company also generates significant revenue from its construction and forestry division. Growth in infrastructure projects, urbanisation, and housing developments increases the demand for construction machinery, which boosts John Deere’s sales in this segment. John Deere’s leadership in precision agriculture technology is a major growth driver. Products that enhance farm productivity, such as GPS-guided tractors, autonomous machinery, and data-driven farming solutions, attract customers looking to improve efficiency and yields.
