Full–year FY2019 profit guidance was lowered from $3.60B ($11.17*/sh) to $3.30B ($10.24*/sh).

The softness was—and will be—be mainly in DE’s ag-equipment segment rather than the construction segment.

DE has now had six consecutive quarters where it came in below guidance. However, even after today’s drop, DE remains about 7% above its 12-month low.
