Conclusion

Deere has developed extremely well in recent years and is expanding successfully in various areas. The company has a strong brand and can show the best figures in almost all aspects. Looking to the future, Deere is also well positioned and has the opportunity to invest significantly more in the automation of its machines due to increasing margins. Deere is also the market leader in the US, which underlines the company's strong position in a challenging and competitive environment.

Thanks to its solid base in recurring revenue (ARR) and efficient data collection, I see Deere as the most future-proof investment opportunity in its industry. The company is able to finance costs and projects optimally, which brings significant benefits. In addition, Deere remains close to the competition in the area of research and development and does not fall behind.

I bought the shares a few months ago in the hope that Deere will successfully master the change and move ever closer to Caterpillar.

AGCO looks extremely attractive due to its current valuation. However, it remains to be seen whether this is a real bargain or a long-term downward correction, but it could be something for one or two people
