The reported speech is used if we want to report what other people said, thought or felt. We use reporting verbs such as say, tell, explain, think, hope, etc. If these verbs are in the past tense, we change the following: a) verb tenses and verb forms b) pronouns c) adverbs of time and place

A) Verb tenses

We change the tenses in the following way.

  • Present simple - past simple: "I work in York," Joe said. - Joe said (that) he worked in York.
  • Present continuous - past continuous: "We are playing a game," Jane explained. - Jane explained (that) they were playing a game.
  • Past simple - past perfect simple: "Sarah came back," I thought. - I thought (that) Sarah had come back.
  • Past continuous - past perfect continuous: "I was talking to our new neighbour," Ben told me. - Ben told me (that) he had been talking to our new neighbour.
  • Present perfect simple - past perfect simple: "I have eaten all sandwiches," he admitted. - He admitted (that) he had eaten all sandwiches.
  • Present perfect continuous - past perfect continuous: "I have been driving for three hours," he comnplained. - He complained (that) he had been driving for three hours.
  • Will - would I will wait outside the station," he reminded me. - He reminded me (that) he would wait outside the station.

Note: Some modal verbs change in a specific way, whereas other verb forms remain the same in special cases.

Read more: Direct and indirect speech

B) Pronouns

Personal pronouns

We have to change pronouns in the reported speech to keep the same meaning. "We are in Italy," he said. - He said they were in Italy. "They invited us," Betty said. - Betty said they had invited them. "I admire your new garden," she told me. - She told me she admired my new garden. "You can take my car," Peter said. - Peter said I could take his car.

This and these

This and these are usually substituted. "They will move this year," my mum said. - My mum said they would move that year. "I like these shoes," Tim insisted. - Tim insisted he liked the shoes.

C) Time and place

The time expressions change as follows.

now - then, today - that day, tomorrow - the next day/the following day, the day after tomorrow - in two days' time, yesterday - the day before, the day before yesterday - two days before, next week/month - the following week/month, last week/month - the previous week/month, a year ago - a year before/the previous year

Marion: "I will do it tomorrow." - Marion said she would do it the next day. Dan: "We arrived last week." - Dan said they had arrived the previous week. Judith: "Brian got married a year ago." - Judith said Brian had got married a year before.

Here and there

Here usually becomes there . But sometimes we have to make different adjustments. "I'll stay here till the evening," he said. - He said he would stay there till the evening. In the hospital: "We'll meet here." - He said they would meet in the hospital.

Is deere stock fully valued at $380.

OSAGE, IOWA - AUGUST 10: John Deere farm equipment is offered for sale at a dealership on August 10, ... [+] 2024 in Osage Iowa. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Deere (NYSE: DE) recently reported its Q3 fiscal 2024 results (fiscal ends in October), with revenues and earnings exceeding the street estimates. The company reported equipment revenue of $11.8 billion and earnings of $6.29 per share, compared to the consensus estimates of $10.9 billion and $5.68, respectively. Following the Q3 beat, DE stock popped 7% higher to levels of around $380 now. However, we think that DE stock is fully priced and investors willing to pick it will likely be better off waiting for a dip.

DE stock has seen strong gains of 50% from levels of $255 in early January 2021 to around $380 now, vs. a similar change for the S&P 500 over this period. However, the increase in DE stock has been far from consistent. Returns for the stock were 29% in 2021, 27% in 2022, and -5% in 2023. In comparison, returns for the S&P 500 have been 27% in 2021, -19% in 2022, and 24% in 2023 — indicating that DE underperformed the S&P in 2023.

In fact, consistently beating the S&P 500 — in good times and bad — has been difficult over recent years for individual stocks; for heavyweights in the Industrials sector, including CAT and RTX, and even for the megacap stars GOOG, TSLA, and MSFT. In contrast, the Trefis High Quality Portfolio , with a collection of 30 stocks, has outperformed the S&P 500 each year over the same period. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics .

Given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment with high oil prices and elevated interest rates, could DE face a similar situation as it did in 2023 and underperform the S&P over the next 12 months — or will it see a strong jump? From a valuation perspective, DE stock looks like it is appropriately priced. We estimate Deere’s Valuation to be $390 per share, close to its current market price of $380. Our forecast is based on a 15x P/E multiple for DE and expected earnings of $25.50 on a per-share basis for the full fiscal 2024. The 15x P/E ratio aligns with the stock’s average over the last five years.

Deere’s revenue of $13.2 billion in Q3 was down 17% y-o-y, with the construction and forestry segment sales down 13%, production and precision agriculture sales fell 25%, and small agriculture and turf sales were down 18% y-o-y. The company continued to benefit from a robust pricing environment, but equipment volume declined. Deere’s profit of $1.7 billion in Q3’24 reflected a sharp 42% fall from its $3.0 billion profit figure in the prior-year quarter, led by lower operating margins across segments. The earnings per share of $6.29 was lower than the $10.20 figure in the prior year’s quarter, partly aided by a 6% fall in total shares outstanding amid share repurchases.

‘the acolyte’ reportedly cancelled ahead of season 2, which is no great shock, nyt ‘strands’ hints, spangram and answers for tuesday, august 20th.

Looking forward, the company expects a double-digit decline in sales for all of its manufacturing segments in 2024. Deere may continue to face headwinds in the near term, amid lower farm income and elevated interest rates. For perspective, the company expects $7 billion in net income for 2024, while it has reported $5.9 billion for the nine-month period ending July 2024. This implied a $1.1 billion profit in Q4’24, significantly lower than $2.4 billion it reported in the prior-year quarter.

Deere’s business is cyclical, and its sales volume have likely entered mid-cycle levels after hitting a cyclical peak last year. As such, we don’t see any reason to raise the valuation multiple from the historical average of 15x. Overall, we think Deere stock is now appropriately priced at levels of around $380.

While DE stock looks like it is fully valued, it is helpful to see how Deere’s Peers fare on metrics that matter. You will find other valuable comparisons for companies across industries at Peer Comparisons .
