AGCO Corporation Faces A $93 Million Tariff Drag — Can Pricing Hold The Line?
In the second quarter of 2026, AGCO Corporation reported net sales of approximately $2.6 billion, reflecting a slight 1% decline year-over-year on a reported basis, or 4% lower on a constant currency basis. The company encountered uneven regional performance, with Europe and Latin America sales progressing below expectations amid cautious customer behavior and elevated input costs, while North America experienced a 20% increase in net sales excluding currency impacts, mainly driven by high horsepower tractors and market share gains. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter rose modestly by $0.08 to $1.43, supported by strong pricing discipline and operational cost controls. However, operating income decreased 14% to $140.7 million, with adjusted operating margins falling 170 basis points to 6.6%, primarily due to lower production volumes, heightened input costs—including tariffs—and subdued demand in key regions.
