  • 3 Reasons to Sell Deere & Co (DE) and 1 Stock to Buy Instead
    April 9, 2026, 3:49 PM EDT. Deere & Co (DE) has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 33.6% gain since October 2025, yet experts advise caution. Sales growth has been modest at 4.8% compounded annually over five years, below industrial sector standards. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), a key profitability measure, has declined significantly. Deere's high debt load stands at $62.48 billion, over seven times its EBITDA, raising financial risk. The stock trades at 30.5 times forward earnings, reflecting high market optimism. Analysts suggest waiting for improved profitability or debt reduction. Instead, they recommend considering a leading digital advertising platform positioned in the growing creator economy as a better buy opportunity.
