The agricultural and heavy equipment manufacturer also reported a <strong>net income of $1.07 billion<\/strong>, exceeding the <strong>$1.05 billion<\/strong> consensus, and <strong>construction and forestry net sales of $3.38 billion<\/strong> against an estimated <strong>$3.18 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the positive Q4 performance, the company&#39;s <strong>2026 net income forecast<\/strong> struck a cautious note, projected to be between <strong>$4.00 billion and $4.75 billion<\/strong>. This outlook falls considerably below analyst expectations of <strong>$5.31 billion<\/strong>, indicating a more conservative stance for the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n<h2>Russia-US Relations Remain Strained Amid Arms Treaty Discussions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov<\/strong> has indicated that relations between <strong>Russia<\/strong> and the <strong>United States<\/strong> are currently in an <em>early stage of normalization<\/em>. Ryabkov emphasized that Russia&#39;s proposals regarding the <strong>New START nuclear arms control treaty<\/strong> are designed to <em>prevent negative global scenarios<\/em> and <em>allow time to assess the situation<\/em> for strategic dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>President Putin previously offered to <em>voluntarily uphold the limits<\/em> of the 2010 New START accord, which is set to expire in February, provided the U.S. reciprocates. Ryabkov highlighted the <em>complexity<\/em> of the normalization process, reiterating Moscow&#39;s openness to <em>finding a balance of interests<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Shein&#39;s French Legal Battle Postponed<\/h2>\n<p>The Chinese online fast-fashion retailer <strong>Shein<\/strong> continues to face legal challenges in France, as a <strong>Paris court<\/strong> has postponed a hearing on a request for its suspension in the country until <strong>December 5<\/strong>. This development follows the <strong>EU Commission&#39;s request<\/strong> for Shein to provide information regarding the sale of <em>illegal products<\/em> on its platform.<\/p>\n<p>French authorities initiated proceedings to suspend Shein after discovering <em>childlike sex dolls and weapons<\/em> being sold through its marketplace. In response, Shein has <em>removed all illicit products<\/em> and temporarily suspended its marketplace for third-party sellers, thereby avoiding an immediate suspension. The company remains under <em>close surveillance<\/em> by state services as legal proceedings continue.<\/p>\n<h2>Global Markets See Modest Gains Ahead of UK Budget<\/h2>\n<p><strong>US equity futures<\/strong> are trading with <em>modest gains<\/em> as global market participants look ahead to the impending <strong>UK Budget<\/strong>. The <strong>UK Budget<\/strong> is a significant event, with reports indicating that Chancellor Reeves is expected to announce measures such as protecting the national minimum wage, freezing rail fares, and potentially lifting the two-child benefit cap.<\/p>\n<p>However, the UK&#39;s Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is reportedly set to forecast <em>lower economic growth<\/em> in 2026 and for every subsequent Parliament year, which could add a cautious tone to the fiscal outlook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways John Deere (DE) reported Q4 2025 EPS
