Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 19 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery outperforming S&P 500?

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Blue Bird Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Terex Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Deere & Company has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -8.1% and the one-year return is -3.9%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Caterpillar Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 21 Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery companies compared here, at $70,755 million. Deere & Company is next at $47,392 million. Aebi Schmidt Holding AG has the highest Revenue growth at 61.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 20 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Caterpillar Inc. is the scale leader at $70,755 million, 49.3% ahead of Deere & Company. Aebi Schmidt Holding AG's growth is 61.2% from a $1,733 million base, with 9 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

This conclusion weakens if: Caterpillar Inc.'s growth falls below Aebi Schmidt Holding AG's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 21 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

All 21 companies in the canonical Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 21 Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28.

Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company comparison FAQs
These 18 answers restate the Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 21 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company is the biggest?
Caterpillar Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $70,755 million, ahead of Deere & Company at $47,392 million. That covers 20 of 21 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company is growing fastest?
Aebi Schmidt Holding AG has the fastest revenue growth at 61.2% year on year, across 19 of 21 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company has the best profit margins?
Deere & Company has the highest operating margin at 22.5%, from 20 of 21 comparable companies. Blue Bird Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +1.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company makes the most profit?
Caterpillar Inc. earns the most, at $9,318 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 20 of 21 comparable companies. Astec Industries, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 73.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company earns the highest return on capital?
SunScout Holding Limited leads on return on capital employed at 30.5%, across 21 of 21 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — The Manitowoc Company, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.14×. Only 14 of 21 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company has the strongest balance sheet?
Gencor Industries, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 20 of 21 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company is investing most in new capacity?
Deere & Company reports the largest capital spending at $1,058 million, across 20 of 21 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery sector beating the market?

Inside the sector, 11 of 20 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery stock has the strongest price momentum?
Wabash National Corporation has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery company scores highest for research priority?
Blue Bird Corporation scores 67 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 20.7 points on growth and earnings, 15.6 on capital efficiency, 15.4 on valuation and 15.3 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

Why are some values on this page blank?
