We cannot judge Deere & Company yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

The Quality Score for DE stands at 6.5 out of 10 as of October 18, 2026, which puts Deere & Company in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Deere & Company’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 270 Industrials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 73rd percentile, above the middle of the group. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so Deere & Company is above the typical company here.
There is no profitability score for Deere & Company: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 262 Industrials companies the median for this pillar is 4.9. Without it the overall leans on balance sheet, growth and consistency, and says little about margins or returns on capital.
Solvency has no score for Deere & Company. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 241 Industrials companies is 7.1. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 8.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so Deere & Company is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 87th percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.
On efficiency, Deere & Company scores 6.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 264 Industrials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 55th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
Predictability scores 4.7 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 267 Industrials companies is 5.0, so Deere & Company is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 46th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
The gap between Deere & Company’s best and worst pillar is wide: growth at 8.3 against predictability at 4.7, 3.6 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with growth is attractive as long as the expansion is earning a decent return. Uneven results make any single year a weaker guide to the next one.
Of everything that could lift Deere & Company’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 5.0 median of Industrials companies would take the overall from 6.5 to roughly 6.6. With two pillars unscored, the overall rests on 55 of the 100 weight points, spread across the three pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
