Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what DE's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. DE trades near $598.59, above its 50-day average ($574.58) and 200-day average ($526.80). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 70 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. DE's is $18.19 (~3.0% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month DE found buyers near $515.15 (support) and sellers near $604.51 (resistance); its 52-week range is $433.00–$674.19. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.9× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 2.5x, and operating profit covers interest about 2.9x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $32.45B of total debt against $7.91B of cash.

$6.10B
FCF Margin
13.4%
In the latest year Deere & Company produced about $7.46B of operating cash flow and $6.10B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 7.1% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for DE:
- Strong return on equity (18.3%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~7.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
The case against DE:
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.5x) adds financial risk.
- Interest coverage is thin (2.9x), so debt costs bite.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (37/100).
Valuation risk — at 33.4x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.5x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: Deere & Company is a large-cap industrials business growing at a mature pace, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 33.4x earnings, which our model scores Weak (37/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
