Ag Sales Decline
Agriculture segment net sales for the full year were $18.12 billion, up 1% year-over-year. For the quarter, agriculture net sales were down 8% for the quarter to $4.95 billion, primarily due to lower industry volume, dealer inventory management and unfavorable mix, CNH said.
In a note to investors, Stanley Elliott, managing director, Stifel, wrote, “For 2024, CNHI expects industry sales to decline 10-15% in ag and construction to decline 5-10%. CNHI’s segment sales are expected to outperform industry declines and margins are expected to outperform past cycles.
