Agriculture Stocks To Add to Your Watchlist – May 1st

Deere & Company, Corteva, and Gates Industrial are the three Agriculture stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Agriculture stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose main businesses serve the farming and food-production chain — for example, farm equipment manufacturers, seed and agrochemical producers, fertilizer companies, commodity processors, and large agricultural producers or distributors. For investors, these stocks provide exposure to trends in crop prices, weather and yield variability, input costs, global food demand and agricultural policy, which can make their returns more cyclical and commodity-sensitive than many other sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Agriculture stocks within the last several days.
