Robust order activity driven by strong production and elevated grain exports to China are likely to have contributed to Deere’s performance during the quarter.Cost management and benefits from footprint assessment are likely to have boosted the company’s margin in the to-be-reported quarter. However, rising raw material and logistics costs as well as uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic might have affected quarterly performance.The Construction & Forestry segment sales are expected to have benefited from strength in the housing market, growth in the non-residential sector and strong order activity from independent rental companies during the fiscal fourth quarter.
