Based on our 6-factor quantitative model, DEERE & CO receives a Buy rating with a composite score of 67/100, ranking #211 out of 7,333 stocks in our coverage universe.
The stock scores particularly well on Value (89th percentile). However, its weakest factor is Short Interest at just the 31th percentile, which investors should monitor.
On a valuation basis, DE commands a 24% premium to its sector median P/E, reflecting elevated market expectations for future growth.
Our composite score is built from six academically-proven factors, each measured as a percentile rank across our entire coverage universe of 7,333 stocks. Higher percentile scores indicate stronger relative performance on that dimension.
