pool adsDeere & Company (NYSE: DE) Remains A Solid Dividend Paying Stock
Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) recently announced its Q1 2017 results, which beat analyst expectations by a significant margin, and caused the stock to rally higher. The company posted strong performance during and after the Great Recession even as many other companies faltered.
Given that the company is currently at its mid-cycle stage and its stock price has surged since late 2016 having recovered from a nine-year consolidation phase, the company might appear quite expensive to new investors.
However, the company has consistently paid a stable dividend even during the 2001 recession and the Great Recession of 2008. The company’s stability over periods of high volatility and depressed economic conditions lead us to the conclusion that indeed Deere & Co. is a stable dividend growth stock.
Our combined analysis indicates that Deere is currently trading above a crucial long-term support level, which has a direct impact on the real-time trading plans provided to our clients. The company’s stock price has recently rallied higher, but despite the rally, the company still has a dividend payout of 1.42%, which is impressive given its slim operating margins.
The company’s revenues for fiscal Q1 came in much lower than revenues for the last two quarters, which was expected given that Q1 is typically the company’s weakest quarter. Although the company’s Q1 revenues missed Wall Street expectations, the revenues still recorded a 27% year-over-year increase.
The company has consistently performed well despite being in an old-economy industry as its main business is farm machinery. The fact that agriculture contributes only a tiny percentage of US GDP, which is replicated in other developed countries, has not stopped the company from reporting positive performance over the years.
The company’s future growth prospects appear quite encouraging given that it recently acquired the Wirtgen Group to expand its footprint in the road construction equipment industry. The company’s annual growth rate is expected to expand this year, while quarterly growth is also expected to increase.
