Company Guidance
During AGCO's Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided detailed guidance on various financial metrics. The executive team highlighted a significant 25% decline in sales and an adjusted operating margin of 5.5% for the quarter, driven by production cuts and a challenging pricing environment.

The full-year net sales outlook is revised to $12 billion, with adjusted earnings per share forecast at $7.50, down from $8.
