Angel Castillo has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting AGCO’s outlook. Despite AGCO’s advancements in digital integration and autonomy, there are concerns about the North American market’s demand in 2026. The company has acknowledged that while their operating margin has improved, the agricultural equipment cycle is expected to face a downturn, particularly in North America, which could affect future performance.
Moreover, while AGCO is making strides in autonomous technology and digital integration, the adoption of these innovations remains low due to farmers’ hesitancy. Although there is potential for growth in these areas, the current penetration levels suggest that it may take time for these technologies to significantly impact AGCO’s bottom line. These factors, combined with the anticipated downturn in the agricultural cycle, contribute to the cautious outlook and the Sell rating from Angel Castillo.
