A guidance gap of roughly $400 million to $500 million in sales, and up to $0.35 per share in earnings, is what AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO) investors were handed on July 30, 2026, when the Company reduced its full-year 2026 outlook alongside second-quarter results and the stock declined.

The prior outlook, in place going into the second quarter, called for net sales of $10.5-$10.7 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $5.80-$6.10. The revised outlook issued July 30, 2026 called for net sales of $10.1-$10.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $5.50-$5.75.
On the Company’s May 5, 2026 earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Eric Hansotia described AGCO as “executing a deliberate and measured step-down in production as the year progresses.” Chief Financial Officer Damon Audia stated on the same call that the margin and earnings-per-share outlook “do not assume any refunds related to the EPA tariff.” AGCO’s subsequent disclosures reflected an increase in expected tariff costs of approximately $25 million.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AGCO Investigation
Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading? A: The investigation concerns whether AGCO Corporation made materially false or misleading statements regarding its full-year 2026 sales and earnings outlook, its planned production step-down, and expected tariff-related costs. Following the July 30, 2026 reduction to full-year guidance, the stock price declined.
Q: When did AGCO allegedly mislead investors? A: The investigation concerns statements made before the July 30, 2026 disclosure that allegedly caused investors to purchase securities at inflated prices.
