While it won't come close to Deere, it should still do very well. They have great products and dealers especially in the ag segment.

wish i bought it under 30.00 but was unable to

The increasing debt load over the past two years bothers me, even though company has shown very low debt to equity (in the past and now). Number of shares have stayed consitent and growth rates appear better then DE, but cash flow and revenue are huge questions - with no dividend currently, I don't feel it's worth the risk - DE or CAT are the safer bets in this industry.

Its not a scientific study but I know lots of Ag farmer's in CA who prefer Colt and Challenger to Deere products. DE has had its run but I think CNH is a great co at a great value.

I predict a slow steady growth for mining and agricultural equipment worldwide. Sales should pick up as the economy recovers and more money is made available to help people finance this heavy equipment.

Yes!

While Fiat's creditworthiness is worrisome and the idling of the construction equipment plants is less than a plus to the bottom line, I feel the agricultural division will perform robustly enough to weather the storm. By mid-summer I believe that construction will begin feeling the positive impact of the Obama administration's infra-structure legislation and provide a lift to construction sales.

Very profitable company usually without all these crazy goings on.

Strong fundamentals

Dollar down, increase equip requirement. Sector outperform: infrastructure/equip, stock (CNH) outperform dollar based competitors.

The Company’s global scope and scale in the agricultural and construction equipment industries make it well positioned for an early recovery. Demand will only increase.

the dow's been crashing. Time to get bargains on great companies

Popped up on my value screen.

CNH is a great international value play with a strong brand name.
