Ruggeri brings nearly two decades of capital-markets experience to the assignment. She began her career at Price Waterhouse, auditing asset managers, broker-dealers and banks. She later moved to J.P. Morgan, where she worked as a financial analyst. In 1994, she joined Bankers Trust Company, managing daily operations for several equity-derivative funds and building tools designed to mitigate risk and streamline workflow processes.
Before arriving at Argus, Ruggeri spent more than a decade at S&P Global. As a Senior Director, she led competitive-intelligence and market-research initiatives, coordinating programs aimed at deepening the firm’s understanding of institutional clients. Her background spans consumer discretionary and consumer staples coverage, skills she is now applying to the capital-intensive industrial sector represented by Deere.
Ruggeri holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with a minor in Spanish from Bucknell University. She earned an MBA in Finance from the Stern School of Business at New York University and is a Certified Public Accountant. In addition, she is a certified teacher in the State of New Jersey and volunteers time working with elementary and middle-school students.
Deere’s financial services arm remains a critical component of the company’s overall performance. Through loans and leases, the segment supports equipment purchases in cyclical end markets that are often sensitive to commodity prices and public-infrastructure spending. Argus Research’s updated coverage will evaluate how this financing capability influences cash flow, credit metrics and long-term growth prospects.
The research firm will also examine Deere’s position within the broader machinery landscape, including competitive pressures, technology adoption and regulatory considerations. Public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will serve as primary reference points for revenue segmentation, capital allocation and risk factors.
Argus Research, an independent equity-analysis provider headquartered in New York, delivers fundamental research to institutional and retail investors. Its reports typically include earnings-estimates revisions, valuation metrics and scenario analyses intended to guide portfolio decisions. The new Deere coverage aligns with the firm’s objective of providing in-depth assessments across industrial, consumer and financial sectors.
Investors and industry observers will monitor Ruggeri’s forthcoming commentary for insights into equipment demand cycles, dealership inventories and the performance of Deere’s precision-agriculture initiatives. While the analyst’s official rating and price target were not disclosed in the coverage announcement, Argus indicated that complete details will appear in its subscription-based reports, which also feature historical performance tables, peer comparisons and risk assessments.
Deere & Company continues to navigate a complex operating environment characterized by fluctuating farm incomes, infrastructure legislation and currency movements that affect overseas sales. The company’s capacity to blend manufacturing efficiency with financing solutions will remain a focal point of Argus Research’s evaluation under Ruggeri’s leadership.
