AGCO Corporation reported third‑quarter 2025 results for the period ended September 30, 2025, with net sales of $2.5 billion, a 4.7% decline from the same quarter in 2024. Adjusted earnings per share rose to $1.35, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.22 and marking a significant improvement over the $0.68 adjusted EPS reported in Q3 2024.
Net income per share for the quarter was $4.09, reflecting the company’s ability to maintain profitability despite lower sales. The decline in revenue was largely driven by a 32% drop in North American sales, attributed to challenging farm economics, high interest rates, and weak commodity prices. In contrast, sales in Europe and the Middle East grew approximately 20% (excluding currency effects), driven by strong demand for precision‑ag solutions and autonomous technologies.
AGCO reiterated its full‑year 2025 outlook, projecting net sales of $9.8 billion and an adjusted operating margin of 7.5%. The company confirmed a $1 billion share‑repurchase program, with $300 million scheduled to commence in the current quarter, underscoring confidence in its cash‑generating capacity.
Management highlighted disciplined cost controls and strategic restructuring initiatives, such as “Project Reimagine,” as key factors that helped mitigate margin pressures. The company also noted ongoing investments in precision agriculture and autonomous technology, positioning it to capture growth opportunities in high‑margin segments.
AGCO’s divestiture of its Grain & Protein business in 2024 and currency fluctuations were excluded from the net sales figure to provide a clearer view of underlying operational performance.
The company’s earnings beat and maintained guidance signal resilience amid a challenging industry environment, with management expressing confidence in navigating the current downturn while continuing to deliver shareholder value.
