Revenue growth tells the sharpest story here: -11.7% against a sector median of 4.3%, trailing by -372%, and EPS growth has turned negative at -27.8% — well below the sector median of -3.2%. The balance sheet offers a partial offset: Debt/EBITDA of 0.0× sits -100% below the sector median, and FCF yield of 4.1% runs +40% above the median, so the cash position is not under pressure even as earnings contract. An F-Score of 5/9 reflects the mixed picture — profitability still passes, but efficiency flags have tripped. Valuation sits near the sector median on P/B at 6.3×, which is -21% below the median of 8.0×, yet the forward PEG reads stretched; consensus models an earnings recovery that the realized three-year EPS CAGR of {{value:eps_cagr_3y}} does not yet support, against a sector median of {{value:sector_eps_cagr_3y_median}}.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
When DE reports on August 20, 2026, track whether revenue growth YoY moves back toward the sector median — it currently sits 372% below it. Also check whether EPS growth recovers from its -3.25% reading, as that gap is the sharpest drag on the F-Score's efficiency block.
In the annual report's Management Discussion section, look for how Deere frames the revenue contraction cycle and capital allocation given a Debt/EBITDA of 2.29×. The FCF yield of 2.89% — 40% above the sector median — warrants checking against stated capex and equipment-financing commitments disclosed there.
Pick two or three companies from the same-sector table in section 06 and line up one metric — P/B at 8.03× or FCF yield at 2.89× are natural starting points. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the selection and the comparison are yours to make.

A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
