Shares of major machinery companies, including AGCO Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGCO#NYSE">AGCO</a>), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) are trading higher Monday afternoon after the United States and China reached a temporary agreement to slash tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">on each other's goods. </a>
What To Know: The rally reflects broad optimism that reduced trade barriers xould ease supply chain constraints and boost business confidence in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
The tariff rollback, announced after talks in Geneva between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China's Vice Premier He Lifeng, cuts U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% and reduces Chinese tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%. The reductions take effect on May 14 and are scheduled to last for 90 days as both countries assess next steps in their trade relationship.
Companies in the machinery and industrial equipment space are among the most directly impacted by such tariffs, given their reliance on international supply chains and global demand for capital goods.
Wall Street responded positively, with major equity futures rising across the board. S&amp;P 500 futures jumped 3.1%, Nasdaq futures surged over 4% and Dow futures gained more than 2.6%. The dollar strengthened while gold prices declined, reflecting a shift away from safe-haven assets.
Price Action: AGCO shares are up 6.55% to $105.85, Caterpillar shares gained 5.4% to $343.21 and Cummins shares jumped 7.6% to $330.01, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Expert Outlook: AGCO Through The Eyes Of 8 Analysts

Citigroup analyst Kyle Menges maintains AGCO (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGCO#NYSE">AGCO</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $90 to $110.

AGCO Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGCO#NYSE">AGCO</a>) shares are trading higher after the company reported first-quarter results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45130984/agco-reports-first-quarter-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and reaffirmed its 2025 outlook</a>.
The company reported a&nbsp;30%&nbsp;year-over-year (Y/Y) decline in&nbsp;fourth-quarter&nbsp;net sales to&nbsp;$2.05 billion, which is in line with the consensus.
Gross margin contracted by 90 bps Y/Y <a href="https://investors.agcocorp.com/static-files/1f1c0ff6-aa51-4564-b988-62ac1d811e55" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to </a>25.4%. Adjusted operating income slid&nbsp;66.7%&nbsp;Y/Y to&nbsp;$83.4 million, and the margin contracted by 550 bps Y/Y to&nbsp;4.1%.
Regional Sales: South America&nbsp;(-15.8%&nbsp;Y/Y), Europe/Middle East&nbsp;(-22.1%&nbsp;Y/Y), North America&nbsp;(-34.2%&nbsp;Y/Y) and Asia/Pacific/Africa&nbsp;(-36.0%&nbsp;Y/Y).
The company reported regional operating margin performance with EME at&nbsp;11.6%, North America at&nbsp;(5.0%), South America at&nbsp;0.9%&nbsp;and APA at&nbsp;(2.9%).
Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$0.41, down from&nbsp;$2.32 a year ago, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$0.09</a>.
AGCO&#8217;s cash used in operating activities totaled $212.2 million, compared to $370.0 million a year ago. As of March 31, cash and equivalents stood at $562.6 million.
&#8220;The underlying fundamentals in many parts of the world have begun to trend upward with farmer sentiment in Europe improving, U.S. corn prices rising and corn stocks-to-use-ratios at lower levels. However, the global agricultural equipment market is volatile due to tariffs and shifting export demand for grain,&#8221; said Eric Hansotia, AGCO&#8217;s chairman, president and CEO.
2025&nbsp;Outlook&nbsp;reaffirmed:&nbsp;AGCO continues to expect adj. EPS of&nbsp;$4.00-$4.50&nbsp;versus the consensus of&nbsp;$3.88 and net sales of around ~$9.6 billion&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">versus the consensus of&nbsp;$9.5 billion</a>.
The net sales outlook reflects lower sales volumes and actions to mitigate the tariff impact.
The company expects adjusted operating margins to be approximately&nbsp;7%&nbsp;–&nbsp;7.5%, reflecting the impact of lower sales, lower production volumes, increased cost controls and flattish investments in engineering.
&#8220;As we look around the world, the U.S. may face reduced market access for key exports, while South America is likely to ship more to China. Although U.S. net farm income forecasts have been revised higher on government aid, increased subsidies are not expected to boost demand for farm equipment in the near-term,&#8221; Hansotia said. 
&#8221;Brazil&#8217;s&nbsp;record soybean production and delayed corn planting highlight both growth potential and risks. Persistent rain and poor growing conditions have negatively impacted wheat production across&nbsp;Western Europe&nbsp;with reduced yields reported in several countries. Demand for new equipment has softened further in&nbsp;North America&nbsp;and&nbsp;Europe&nbsp;as a result of volatile crop producer demand.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Global X AgTech &amp; Food Innovation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KROP#NASDAQ">KROP</a>) and Cohen &amp; Steers ETF Trust Cohen &amp; Steers Natural Resources Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSNR#NYSE">CSNR</a>).

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
