Deere posted a 41% dip in earnings for the second quarter of 2020 due to lower revenues. The company recorded impairments related to certain fixed assets, operating lease equipment, and a minority investment in a construction equipment company headquartered in South Africa.
The company expects earnings to be in the range of $1.6-2 billion for the full year. However, many uncertainties remain regarding the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic that could negatively affect the company’s results and financial position in the future.
