On Nov. 26, 2025, DE shares closed down by 5.7% after reporting its Q4 results. Its EPS of $3.93 fell short of Wall Street expectations of $3.96. The company’s net sales were $10.6 billion, exceeding Wall Street forecasts of $10 billion.

For the current fiscal year, ending in October, analysts expect DE’s EPS to fall 9.1% to $16.82 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on another occasion.

Among the 24 analysts covering DE stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 11 “Strong Buy” ratings, two “Moderate Buys,” and 11 “Holds.”

On Feb. 4, Adam Seiden from Barclays PLC (BCS) maintained a “Buy” rating on DE with a price target of $530.

While DE currently trades above its mean price target of $527.78, the Street-high price target of $724 suggests an upside potential of 18.2%.
