Although revenues and profits were lower in the second quarter at John Deere, the stock market took a “not as bad as I thought†approach recently. At press time, stock was trading higher on the news.
According to CNBC, the construction equipment maker reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of $2.11 per share, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.62 a share. Revenue beat estimates as well. Higher debt, cost cutting, and reduction in capital spending helped the company counter slower sales.
