MOLINE, Ill., Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) reported net income of $656 million for the first quarter ended February 1, 2026, or $2.42 per share, compared with net income of $869 million, or $3.19 per share, for the quarter ended January 26, 2025.
Production & Precision Agriculture Operating Profit First Quarter 2026 Compared to First Quarter 2025 $ in millions
Worldwide net sales and revenues increased 13 percent, to $9,611 million, in the most recent quarter. Net sales were $8,001 million for the quarter, compared with $6,809 million in the same quarter of 2025.
“While the global large agriculture industry continues to experience challenges, we’re encouraged by the ongoing recovery in demand within both the construction and small agriculture segments,” said John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere. “These positive developments reinforce our belief that 2026 represents the bottom of the current cycle and provides us with a strong foundation for accelerated growth going forward.”
Company Outlook & Summary
Net income attributable to Deere & Company for fiscal 2026 is forecasted to be in a range of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion.
“Our sustained investment in research and development throughout the cycle is yielding measurable results as we move toward launching a wide range of innovative products and solutions across all business segments,” stated May. “These advancements underscore the value of maintaining a robust portfolio that spans broad markets and regions worldwide, which should position us for success as we transition out of the current cycle.”
Results for the prior period were affected by special items. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further details. The cost of additional tariffs for each segment is included in the “Production costs” category below.
Production & Precision Agriculture sales increased for the quarter as a result of the positive effects of foreign currency translation. Operating profit decreased primarily due to higher tariffs, unfavorable sales mix, and higher warranty expenses.
Small Agriculture & Turf sales increased for the quarter as a result of higher shipment volumes and the positive effects of foreign currency translation. Operating profit increased primarily due to higher shipment volumes / sales mix and price realization, partially offset by higher tariffs.
Construction & Forestry sales increased for the quarter as a result of higher shipment volumes and the positive effects of foreign currency translation. Operating profit increased primarily due to higher shipment volumes / sales mix and production efficiencies, partially offset by higher tariffs.
Financial Services net income increased primarily due to favorable financing spreads and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by a favorable special item recorded in the prior period described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

(In millions of dollars) Unaudited
(1) Special Items
Discrete Tax Items
In the first quarter of 2025, the company recorded favorable net discrete tax items primarily due to tax benefits of $110 million related to the realization of foreign net operating losses from the consolidation of certain subsidiaries and $53 million from an adjustment to an uncertain tax position of a foreign subsidiary.
Banco John Deere S.A.
In 2024, the company entered into an agreement with a Brazilian bank, Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become 50% owner of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD). BJD finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. The transaction is intended to reduce the company’s incremental risk as it continues to grow in the Brazilian market.
The BJD business was reclassified as held for sale in 2024. In January 2025, the valuation allowance on assets held for sale decreased, resulting in a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses) of $32 million recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” in the three months ended January 26, 2025. The valuation allowance changes are presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.
The company deconsolidated BJD upon completion of the transaction in February 2025. The company accounts for its investment in BJD using the equity method of accounting and results of its operations are reported in “Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates” within the Financial Services segment. The company reports investments in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates in “Other assets” and “Other receivables,” respectively.
(2) The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of all the company’s subsidiaries. The supplemental consolidating data in Note 3 to the financial statements is presented for informational purposes. Equipment operations represent the enterprise without Financial Services. Equipment operations include the company’s Production & Precision Agriculture operations, Small Agriculture & Turf operations, Construction & Forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within Financial Services. Transactions between the equipment operations and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements.
