Agriculture Stocks: Weekly Performance Snapshot (July 21–25, 2025)
Agriculture stocks recovered during the week of July 21 to 25, posting gains after a mostly negative performance in the previous week (July 14–18). Investor sentiment improved slightly amid a more stable macroeconomic environment, early reactions to a new trade deal between the U.S. and EU, and anticipation of upcoming earnings reports from key sector players.
This rebound followed a week in which stocks such as CF Industries (-6.05%), CNH Industrial (-3.57%), and AGCO (-2.78%) had posted notable losses. In contrast, the latest week saw those same names either recover or stabilize.
Top Performers: Bayer, Kubota, and AGCO Lead Weekly Gains
- Bayer AG (ETR: BAYN) rose 6.14% to close at €29.21, accelerating from its 2.48% gain the week prior. Continued investor interest in its biologicals strategy supported momentum.
- Kubota Corp (TYO: 6326) climbed 5.32% to ¥1,712, reversing its prior week’s 2.04% decline, amid hopes for improved trade access following the U.S.–EU agreement.
- AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO) gained 4.15%, a sharp turnaround from the prior week’s 2.78% loss.
Other notable gainers:
- UPL (+1.59%) continued its two-week upward trend (previously +5.34%)
- FMC Corp (+1.96%), CNH Industrial (+1.77%), and Mosaic (+2.16%) also posted gains after mixed or negative movement in the prior week
- John Deere (+2.51%) and Corteva (+0.45%) also advanced modestly
Mixed and Negative Movers: Farmland Partners and CF Pull Back
- Farmland Partners (NYSE: FPI) declined 7.67% despite reporting strong farmland sales and share buybacks in its Q2 2025 results. This reverses its prior +3.25% gain, suggesting investor concerns around long-term growth strategy.
- CF Industries (NYSE: CF) dipped 0.73%, following a sharp 6.05% drop the week before.
- DuPont (-0.30%) and Lindsay Corp (-0.34%) posted minor declines with no major announcements.
Market Factors For Agriculture Stocks: Trump–EU Trade Deal, Earnings Season, and Tariff Deadlines
The recently announced Trump–EU trade agreement, aimed at reducing tariff escalation and opening agricultural market access, contributed to the week’s improved sentiment. While the deal helped boost confidence—particularly for machinery exporters and input suppliers—market analysts remain cautious about long-term implementation details and potential retaliatory measures from other trade partners.
Additionally, the August 1 U.S. tariff deadline looms, with potential implications for firms dependent on imported components, such as John Deere, Kubota, and CNH Industrial. No company has issued updated guidance on the matter so far.
Looking ahead, Q2 earnings reports for major players like AGCO, CNH, John Deere, Corteva, and FMC are expected in the coming 2–3 weeks, which may further influence stock valuations and investor sentiment depending on results and forward-looking statements.
