2021 continues to be a year of strong growth for AGCO: very positive results are coming from both sales and margins.
The geographical areas where the company operates have experienced strong growth despite the outbreak of the pandemic and a generalized increase in prices.
To date, we believe the stock fluctuates at -25% below what we believe to be a fair value. EV / EBTIDA of Argo Corporation is in fact clearly inferior to its sector, Farming / Agriculture.

⚡️Growth factors:
The results for the second quarter exceeded all expectations: with a turnover increased by 43% year on year, the growth forecasts for the full year of 2021 have also being raised.
The demand for machinery continues to be very high in Eastern Europe combined with strong growth in South America and APAC.
Continued growth and expansion in the technology department: in September 2021, AGCO acquired Farm Robotics and Automation S.L. (Faromatics), a leading company in technology applied to breeding.
VanEck is expected to launch a new ETF "VanEck Future of Food II" soon: We believe AGCO Corporation will most likely be part of the ETF. This event could bring new capital flows from the passive sector.
