The Moline, Illinois-based company posted a 60% rise in quarterly profit, yet investors were seemingly unimpressed as shares slumped for the world's largest farm equipment maker.
While it easily beat profit expectations, Deere's stock slump is consistent with other cyclical companies that have outperformed estimates.
Deere expects 2023 net income between $9.75 billion and $10.00 billion, up from its previous outlook of $9.25 billion to $9.50 billion.
Construction and forestry equipment sales increased 14% on solid demand backdrop fueled by U.S. President Joe Biden administration's $1 trillion infrastructure deal.
Sales from equipment operations rose about to $14.28 billion compared to $13 billion a year ago.
