Deere's Q2 2026 Results with Higher Sales but Softer Profits, Strong FY Outlook
Deere reported Q2 2026 sales with higher revenue but softer profit margins. The company forecasts FY2026 net income of $4.5B-$5B and raised its construction and forestry sales outlook by 20%. Deere's Q2 results beat earnings estimates, and a $272M tax refund boosted margins.
DE Deere & Company posted mixed Q2 2026 results, with revenue beating analyst estimates but profit margins softer year-over-year as agriculture demand normalizes from 2024 highs. Net income guidance for fiscal 2026 was reaffirmed at $4.5B-$5B, and the company lifted its full-year construction and forestry sales outlook by roughly 20% .
A $272 million tax refund boosted reported margins in the quarter, masking some of the underlying pressure in the large-ag Production & Precision segment. Small-ag and Turf trends were better than feared, while Construction & Forestry continues to benefit from US infrastructure spend and replacement demand.
Deere's set-up into the second half hinges on dealer inventory normalization and the pace of farmer income recovery as commodity prices stabilize. Investors will look to the Q3 print for confirmation that the C&F upgrade is structural rather than tied to one-time backlog conversion.
