Deere & Co. (DE) – The farm equipment maker reported quarterly earnings of $4.12 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $3.90, although revenue came in slightly below analyst forecasts. Deere claimed that solid demand for its products helped offset the negative effects of a prolonged workers strike. Deere gained 3.7% on the premarket.

Nordstrom (JWN) – Nordstrom plummeted 25% in premarket trading after it reported earnings of 39 cents per share for its latest quarter, shy of the 56 cent consensus estimate. According to the retailer, rising labor costs and inventory challenges caused Nordstrom’s drop in premarket trading.
