Revenue for the first nine months of 2024 was $232.8 up $49.0 from 2023. The Company has been successful in improving its supply chain issues and is able to better meet its customer demand for agricultural equipment.

Net income for the third quarter was $6.7, compared to net loss of $1.4 for the same period in 2023. For the year to date, net income was $11.8, compared to net income of $18.8 in the prior year. Contributing to the increase in profit in the quarter was an increase in income from operations of $10.1, an increase in gain on foreign exchange of $0.9 and a decrease in research and development expense of $1.6. This was offset by a decrease in gain on asset disposal of $0.5, a decrease in interest income of $0.9 chiefly related to a SRED refund from prior years, an increase in interest expense of $1.9 and a decrease in income taxes recovered of $1.2. Prior period income tax recovered was primarily due to SRED tax refunds.

Sales for 2024 are projected to outperform 2023 sales as the company continues to focus on improving its supply chain and continues to enjoy demand for its product. The Company’s majority shares were acquired by ASKO Sinai, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASKO Holding, on December 28, 2023 and continues to receive full support from ASKO Sinai to achieve its sales growth and return to profitability. Margins are projected to improve in 2024 over 2023 as a result of operating efficiencies st

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
