Deere shareholders elect board, approve pay, and ratify auditor at annual meeting

Deere & Company shareholders recently held their annual meeting, electing all nominated directors, approving executive compensation on an advisory basis, and ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as their independent auditor for the 2026 fiscal year. Three shareholder proposals were not approved. The company, trading at a P/E ratio of 35.16, has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years, with analysts offering mixed but generally positive outlooks, including raised price targets from DA Davidson, Morgan Stanley, and UBS, though Jefferies downgraded due to valuation concerns.
