On the stock market since 1992, it operates in the world of heavy industry. It has 24,000 employees. Now — the numbers.

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

Clearly below the class average.
Growth: Sales growth trails the sector average.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 20% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
It pays out $1.16 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 3 years, sales fell about 7% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
The growth engine is running at low revs right now. Report-card grade: 33/100.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 45/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
On our five-subject report card, AGCO sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: AGCO is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
