DE pre-earnings setup: Deere & Company reports earnings on Nov 25, 2026, 16 days out of our Nov 9 morning scan, and the row carries a score of 74 at rank 24 of the 51 names we track. The scan price was $682.62, not one of the 25 analyst ratings on the stock is a sell, and the options market is pricing a 3.9% move over three days.

Two things stand out about the position going in. The stock is one of only two names on our table sitting above every close of their own past month, and it is doing it into one of the narrowest priced bands on the board.

When does DE report earnings, and is it a buy before the print?

Deere reports on Nov 25, 2026, 16 days from the November 9 morning scan, which carried the row with the print date set to November 25 and 16 days left on it.

On the evidence here it is a candidate with one real caution attached. The book, the coverage and the sentiment reading are all in good shape and the crowding is light, but the stock has already run to a one-month high and the multiple it trades on is not cheap.

The row, 16 days out

Score 74 at rank 24 of 51, sector Industrials, print date November 25, earnings sentiment Positive, short interest 1.9% of float, market capitalization $184.05 billion, implied volatility 51.8, and a scan price of $682.62.

Decomposed, the 74 is 25 points for analyst coverage, 16 for a 64.0% buy-side share, 10 for the 5 strong buys, 8.4 for an 8.4% fourteen-day implied move, and the full 15 for a Positive sentiment reading. That totals 74.4.

The conviction column is where the points come from. Sixty-four percent of a 25-rating book on the buy side earns 16 of the 25 available, and the strong-buy count adds 10 more on top of it.

The quietest options market here

The chain cost $30.60 at the money, which is 4.5% of the share price, on a four-day expiry. Implied volatility of 51.8 is the fifth calmest of the 51 rows we scan, behind only SLAB, IQ, NTNX and DIS.

Scaled off that straddle, the market is pricing 3.9% over three days, 5.9% over seven and 8.4% over fourteen. Around the $682.62 scan price that is a band of $656.12 to $709.12 at three days and $625.37 to $739.87 at fourteen.

That is a narrow corridor for a $184.05 billion company. Only VEEV, the other name printing on November 25, prices a tighter three-day band at 3.8%, and the market is not charging much for a surprise in either direction.

The two November 25 names are worth reading side by side. Veeva scores 79 on a 29-rating book and trades at 29.8 times forward earnings, Deere scores 74 on 25 ratings and trades at the same 29.8 times, with 1.9% of float short against Veeva's 2.8%.

The multiple Deere trades on

At 37.9 times trailing earnings, Deere is the twelfth most expensive name on the board with a published trailing multiple. The forward figure is 29.8 times, the eleventh most expensive of the 51 rows, and the PEG of 1.56 sits sixteenth on the same measure.

The forward number depends on a 27.4% jump in estimated earnings per share, from $17.99 trailing to $22.91 forward. That is a smaller ask than the one on Veeva on the same print date, and Deere's multiple is 7.4 turns higher on the trailing line.

Deere is the largest company on our table with Industrials exposure, at $184.05 billion, and the strongest of the three names in that sector on score, ahead of ZTO at 71 and CPRT at 46.

What the analyst book says

Twenty-five ratings: 5 strong buys, 11 buys, 9 holds and no sells at all. That is 64.0% on the buy side, behind BILI at 96.7%, NVDA at 93.5%, ADI at 91.2% and CEG at 80.0%.

The soft spot is the holds column, where nine of the 25 ratings sit. Deere does not have the enthusiastic book of the top of the table, but it does not have anyone marking it as a sell either, and 26 of the 51 rows we scan are in that same position.

Where the price has been sitting this month

The settled closes show Deere grinding higher all month. It closed at $620.93 on Oct 9, the low close of the month, and finished the first week of November at $671.65, up 1.26% on the session.

The month is 8.17% higher, which is the 20th best month of the names our price tracker covers. The high close was $676.50 on Nov 4, and our 6:33 a.m. PT scan had the stock at $682.62, 1.58% above the Nov 6 close and above every close of the past month.

That is the setup in one number. The stock is at a one-month high going into a print the options market is pricing at 3.9%, so the position is already extended and the priced event is small.

What has to change before the November 25 print

The price is the first lever, and it is the one already pulled. Deere is at a one-month high with the event priced narrow, so a reader buying here is paying for the run that has already happened.

The event is the second lever. At 8.4 points the implied move is worth less than the conviction column, and on a 1.9% short base the straddle can widen or squeeze out from here.

What is not a lever is the book or the sentiment reading. Sixteen points of conviction and the full 15 for sentiment are already in the score, and neither changes before Nov 25.

Every figure on this page comes from the scan that runs at 6:33 a.m. PT, and the table behind it is published at our open data.

So DE pre-earnings setup is a score of 74 with no sell ratings on it, the lightest crowding of the five names in this comparison and the quietest options market, going into a print 16 days out from a one-month high.

Whether that makes Deere a buy before the print is a judgment for the reader, and this page does not make it for them.
