DEER & COMPANY (DE.N) - Brazil Investor Day Summary

Date: 12 June 2025

Main Focus: Analysis and outlook for Deere & Company's operations and market sentiment in Brazil.

Citi's Take

Strong Network & Tech: Deere's (DE) dealer network and technological capabilities in Brazil are considered unparalleled. Competitors appear weaker, while Deere partners leverage technology (like JDLink and Precision Ag Essentials) effectively.
Starlink Partnership: Deere's deal with Starlink provides essential machine connectivity. Roughly 70% of farms in Brazil lack cellular connectivity, making Deere's offerings (connectivity kits, JDLink on machines) vital. Adoption is growing rapidly, with "see and spray" tech particularly appealing due to high chemical input costs (~2x North American levels).
Accelerated Growth: Citi anticipates increased adoption rates for Deere's precision agriculture technologies as connectivity expands. The positive ROI cited by Deere (SLC Agricola highlighted ~$11 return per $1 invested) is driving adoption. This should significantly boost Service & Parts (SA parts) and Precision Ag revenue streams.
Dealer Investment: Dealers have invested in parts/service capabilities and technology, gaining market share and establishing Deere as a price leader. A dealer network consolidation drive, seen in North America, is underway.
Optimistic Outlook: Brazil's agricultural prospects are viewed more positively. This year's corn and soybean harvest looks better year-on-year, leading to anticipated improvements in farmer Net Income (NI) margins. Expected long-term growth drivers include ethanol consumption and soybean exports.

Key Points

Starlink Impact: The partnership accelerates Deere's machine connectivity, enabling tools like JDLink Boost and Precision Ag Essentials Kits, catering to the vast connectivity gap in Brazil.
Rapid Adoption: Over 4,000 precision ag essentials kits sold in Brazil in the last ~six months. Kits are compatible with non-DE machines.
Dealer Role: Dealers invest in independent service/technology capabilities, enhancing Deere's market position. A connected solutions center (CSC) model allows remote diagnostics/repair, proven to cut costs.
Lucrative Tech: Precision Ag technology offers high ROI for Brazilian farmers, partly due to high chemical input costs, making tools like "see and spray" more attractive.
Favourable Outlook: Improved harvest outlook (crops, farmer margins) in Brazil supports positive sentiment. Long-term growth is expected from ethanol and soy exports.

Downside Risks Mentioned by Citi

Decline in grain prices could dampen farmer income and new equipment investment.
Rising raw material costs pushing down Deere's margins.

Valuation & Target Price

Citi targets DE at ~US$525 (approx. 28x 2025E EPS). This reflects expectation of sustained higher margins and reduced earnings volatility.
For SLC Agricola (Brazilian farmer), target is R$21 per share. Price sensitivity for DE includes grain prices, raw material cost inflation, and operational factors.

Outlook

Citi is generally constructive on the Brazil agricultural outlook and Deere's growth prospects in precision agriculture, driven by technological advancements, favorable rural economics, and a strong dealer network. Focus remains on execution and future rollouts of enhanced offerings.
