Why it’s on the map

Tractors/combines are NOT on Canada's list (only balers, mowers, trailers, parts). Real pain is about $1.1B gross / about $750M net FY26 tariff cost on imported steel/components. Stock near highs prices a 2027 upcycle.

Government money & contracts

GSA/DoD contracts (values unverified).

Customers & commercial

Farmers, construction.

Catalysts

Early orders; FY27 guide.

Risk

US/Canada large-ag sales -15–20% for the year.

Tariff durability

Input-cost loser, not a retaliation loser.
