Deere's 1.52% Surge Driven by Earnings Hype Trading Volume Jumps 44.6% to 99th in Market Activity Rankings

On August 13, 2025, Deere & Company (DE) closed with a 1.52% gain, trading with a daily trading volume of $0.94 billion—a 44.64% increase from the prior day—ranking it 99th in market activity. The stock’s performance followed heightened investor anticipation for its upcoming earnings report, which is scheduled for Thursday. Analysts and market participants are closely monitoring potential updates on inventory levels, tariff developments, and forward-looking demand forecasts for 2026, which could influence near-term sentiment.

Recent market commentary highlights elevated expectations for Deere’s quarterly results, driven by its positioning in the agricultural and construction equipment sectors. While broader second-quarter earnings season has shown mixed outcomes, with S&P 500 companies projected to report 11.8% year-over-year earnings growth, Deere’s sector-specific dynamics remain under scrutiny. Investors are balancing concerns over macroeconomic uncertainties, including the potential impact of U.S. trade policies, with the company’s operational performance in a still-evolving demand environment.

A strategy based on selecting the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to present yielded a compound annual growth rate of 6.98%. However, this approach experienced a maximum drawdown of 15.46% during the backtest period, with a notable decline occurring in mid-2023. The results underscore the volatility inherent in volume-driven strategies and emphasize the necessity of robust risk management frameworks to mitigate exposure during market corrections.
