Deere beats top-line and bottom-line estimates; updates FY26 outlook
Deere reported results that exceeded market expectations and raised its earnings outlook for the fiscal year 2026.
With the positive earnings news, the current price of $580.63 is positioned just above the support level of $579.31, which is the 20-day low. This presents an opportunity to test for a dip buy while monitoring whether the support level holds.
If the buying momentum continues due to strong performance, we will realize profits near the resistance level of $643.99, which is our target exit price. Conversely, if downward pressure increases and we break below the support level of $579.31, we will limit losses at the stop-loss price of $579.31.
RSI(14) is 41.2, moving averages are in a positive alignment, trading volume is 1.54 times the 20-day average, and the recent 7-day volatility is recorded at -4.7%.
1) POWW (2026-08-10, return 16.2%), 2) MSFT (2026-07-31, return 15.5%), 3) GNRC (2026-08-05, return 14.5%) are all similar cases that exhibited positive stock price trends due to the overlapping keyword 'strong performance'.
At the time of the forecast, amidst positive earnings news, the current price of $580.63 was positioned just above the support level of $579.31, which was the low from 20 days prior. A strategy was devised to test for bottom buying while confirming the potential breach of the support level, resulting in an expected return of 2.5%. However, the actual outcome recorded a significantly higher return of 11.5%, resulting in an OVERHIT designation. This reflects that the buying pressure due to strong earnings was more robust than anticipated, with an influx of trading volume reaching 1.54 times, and it indicates that the strong upward momentum surpassing the resistance level of $643.99 was not fully captured in the conservative forecast.
Through this transaction, we confirmed that the low point buying opportunity near the support level was valid. However, in a phase where strong demand is flowing in, as evidenced by the trading volume increasing to 1.54 times the 20-day average along with an earnings surprise, we will reflect this in our next trades by keeping the profit-taking target a bit more flexible or applying a partial selling strategy to more actively capture the breadth of the upward trend.
