Deere &amp; Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/de#NYSE">DE</a>) has recalled about 147,900 compact utility tractors in the United States due to a potential brake failure risk, per reports. This voluntary recall will ensure customer safety.
The recall applies to models 1023E, 1025R and 2025R sold between November 2017 and July 2024. In Canada, the company has recalled another 16,800 of the compact utility tractor models.
The front bell crank in the brake linkage of the recalled tractors may break, endangering users in the event of a crash, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (&quot;CPSC&quot;). There have been four reports of brake linkage failure in the United States so far, with one hospitalization, two impact injuries and minor damages to the tractors.
<h2>Deere&#39;s Commitment to Safety</h2>
The company is proactively addressing the issue in collaboration with the U.S. CPSC.
Deere instructed the impacted customers not to operate their tractors until they receive a free repair from an authorized Deere dealer. Customers have easy access to repair services due to over 2,000 dealerships in the United States and Canada. If the consumer is unable to move the tractor to a dealer&#39;s site, the company will arrange to repair the unit at the consumer&#39;s home.
<h2>DE&#39;s Topline Dips Y/Y in Q3</h2>
Deere reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings of $6.29 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.80. The bottom line, however, plunged 38% from the prior-year quarter.
This was due to lower shipment volumes across all segments, reflecting weak demand, which was somewhat negated by the company&#39;s pricing strategies and cost-saving measures.
Net sales of equipment operations (comprising Agriculture, and Turf, Construction and Forestry) were $11.39 billion, down 19.9% year over year. However, net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.87 billion. Total net sales (including financial services and others) were $13.15 billion, down 16.8% year over year.
<h2>Deere&#39;s 2024 Net Income Outlook Indicates Y/Y Dip</h2>
Deere stated that in the wake of challenging conditions in the global agricultural and construction sectors, the company will align its production with demand levels and also take steps to reduce costs. Deere maintained its guidance of net income for fiscal 2024 at $7 billion. The view suggests a 31% decline from net income of $10.2 billion reported in fiscal 2023.
Net sales for Production &amp; Precision Agriculture are expected to decrease 20-25% year over year in fiscal 2024. Sales of Small Agriculture &amp; Turf are expected to dip 20-25%. Deere projects sales of Construction &amp; Forestry to be down 10-15%. The Financial Services segment&#39;s net income is expected to be $720 million.
<h2>DE Share Price Outperforms Industry</h2>
DE shares have gained 8.7% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 4%.

Stanley Black &amp; Decker, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/swk#NYSE">SWK</a>) cost-reduction program is expected to aid its bottom line and drive margin performance in the quarters ahead. The program comprises a series of initiatives to resize the organization, reduce inventory and optimize the supply chain with the goal of repositioning it to pursue sustainable long-term growth.
In the first six months of 2024 and since the inception of the program, SWK realized pre-tax run rate savings of $295 million and $1.3 billion, respectively. The savings were driven by lower headcount, reductions of indirect spending and supply-chain transformation.
Stanley Black has been divesting non-core operations to drive growth. In April 2024, the company divested its STANLEY Infrastructure (Infrastructure) business to Epiroc AB for a cash consideration of $760 million. The divestment will help the company to focus on its core businesses, reduce debt and support capital-allocation priorities.
It remains focused on rewarding its shareholders through dividend payments and share buybacks. In the first six months of 2024, the firm paid dividends of $243.6 million, up 1.7% year over year. It also bought back shares worth $7.7 million. In July 2024, SWK hiked its quarterly dividend by a penny to 82 cents per share.
<h2>SWK&#39;s Price Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/9c/77848.jpg?v=1064530480" />

In the past three months, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company has gained 20.2% compared with the industry&#39;s&nbsp; 9.4% growth.
Despite the positives, lower consumer outdoor and do-it-yourself market demand is a concern for the Tools &amp; Outdoor segment. Within the segment, the power tools business has been experiencing weaknesses due to reduced demand for consumer tools. Weakening automotive end markets, owing to headwinds in the global automotive OEM light vehicle production, are another setback.
Further, the low liquidity level remains a concern. Exiting the second quarter, the company&#39;s cash and cash equivalents were $318.5 million, lower than the short-term borrowings of $492.4 million. Its current maturities of long-term debt totaled $500.1 million. This implies that SWK does not have sufficient cash to meet its current debt obligations. Also, the stock looks more leveraged than the industry. Its long-term debt/capital ratio is currently 0.39, higher than 0.36 of the industry.

Tetra Tech Secures $39.3M Single-Award Contract From USAID

Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prlb#NYSE">PRLB</a>) announced that it launched Axtra3D Hybrid PhotoSynthesis technology, which expands its 3D printing capabilities. The launch of HPS complements Proto Labs&#39; strategy to meet additional customer needs and extend into production use cases.
<h2>PRLB&#39;s HPS to Complement Existing Capabilities</h2>
HPS employs a precision laser and a digital light processing system to capture images of internal and external part structures at the same time. This dual 3D printing approach helps overcome previous 3D printing limitations. Common HPS applications include production-grade components with high throughput parts. It requires high-accuracy features for testing and validation, and cosmetic prototypes with glass-like surface finishes.
HPS supports the company&#39;s existing Carbon digital light synthesis printers for 3D printing projects that demand better mechanical qualities.
<h2>Current Available HPS Materials Boost Proto Labs&#39; Potential</h2>
The two currently available HPS materials include Tough Black (Loctite Henkel 3843) and Ceramic-filled (BASF 3280).
Tough Black is an engineering-grade resin with great strength and exceptional impact resistance, whereas Ceramic-filled is a stiff substance commonly used for tooling and molding. Both materials increase the company&#39;s advanced photopolymer catalog and supplement the materials previously available for Carbon DLS.
<h2>PRLB Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y</h2>
In the second quarter of 2024, Proto Labs reported a 3.3% year-over-year increase in revenues to $126 million. The top line met the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company reported earnings per share of 18 cents against the loss of 1 cent posted in the second quarter of 2023. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents.
<h2>Proto Labs&#39; Share Price Performance</h2>
Proto Lab&#39;s shares have gained 0.4% in the past year against the industry&#39;s 16.6% decline.

Earnings Beats

Flowserve Down 0.2% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?

Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ndsn#NASDAQ">NDSN</a>) is well-poised for growth, courtesy of strength across its businesses and accretive acquisitions. Handsome rewards to shareholders add to the stock&#39;s appeal.
Headquartered in Westlake, OH, Nordson is one of the leading manufacturers as well as distributors of products and systems designed to dispense, apply and control adhesives, coatings, polymers, sealants, biomaterials and other fluids. The company&#39;s product line includes single-use components, stand-alone units for low-volume operations and microprocessor-based automated systems for high-speed, high-volume production lines.
Let&#39;s delve into the factors that make this company a smart investment choice at the moment.
Business Strength: Strong momentum in the Industrial Precision Solutions segment is supporting Nordson&#39;s performance. Growing demand for nonwoven product lines in the industrial and consumer non-durable end markets is aiding the segment. Also, the growing need for packaged goods in food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics markets is driving demand for the company&#39;s packaging product lines, which also bodes well for the segment.
Expansion Efforts: NDSN is focused on strengthening its competency through acquisitions. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024 (ended July 2024), acquired assets boosted the company&#39;s total revenues by 4%. In August 2024, Nordson completed the acquisition of Atrion Corporation. The inclusion of Atrion&#39;s three major businesses &mdash; Halkey Roberts, Atrion Medical and Quest Medical &mdash; will enable Nordson to expand its medical offerings in the infusion and cardiovascular therapies market. Management expects the buyout to offer significant operational synergies when combined with its medical business expertise.
In August 2023, the company acquired ARAG Group and its subsidiaries. The acquisition expanded Nordson&#39;s core capabilities in precision dispensing technology, helping it foray into the rapidly growing, precision agriculture end-market. ARAG is part of the Industrial Precision Solutions segment. Also, in November 2022, Nordson acquired CyberOptics Corporation, expanding its semiconductor test and inspection capabilities.
Nordson currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). In the past three months, the stock has gained 10.1% compared with the industry&#39;s 3.7% growth.

Rewards to Shareholders: NDSN continues to increase shareholders&#39; value through dividend payments and share repurchases. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, it paid out dividends of $116.8 million, up 4.8% year over year. In the same period, it bought back shares worth $34.1 million. In August 2024, the company hiked its dividend by 15% to 78 cents per share. This marks its 61st consecutive year of dividend increase.
In September 2022, the company&#39;s board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million in shares on top of the existing share repurchase authorization. Exiting the fiscal third quarter, it had approximately $0.52 million available of the total $1.5 million authorized for share repurchases.
