Analysis · AGCO · Technology
Second-quarter results fell short of expectations, with sales down 1% to $2.61 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.43 missing the $1.48 consensus. More importantly, management cut its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $5.50–$5.75 from $6.00, citing cautious farmer spending, tariff uncertainty, and soft industry conditions. The company is aggressively buying back stock—$345 million in Q2 alone—but the lowered outlook signals deeper headwinds than previously acknowledged. The sale of its finance JV stakes for $190 million provides some cash, yet the core business is under pressure across most regions, with Latin America sales plunging 25% in constant currency.
