Oh, Deere. The global slowdown in the agriculture sector and construction equipment markets whacked results at the giant farm equipment maker. Quarterly profit fell by nearly half. Equipment sales in the U.S. and worldwide dropped by roughly a quarter. And the strong dollar cut into profit earned abroad. U.S. farmers have been slammed by lower prices for commodities.

Its full-year forecast and profit beat Wall Street's expectations, so the stock shot higher in early trading, chipping away at its nearly 14 percent decline this year.
