John Deere (DE) posted 1Q earnings:

In their earnings release, it showed that their shares outstanding declined year over year by over 8%! That's huge!
Also, Warren Buffett recently added to his DE stake:

Curious what everyone's thoughts are on DE. I like it for the long term, especially as quickly as they are retiring shares. This is a cyclical company, and I'm glad they are increasing their buyback these past couple of years (They really increased it a lot 2014 & 2015) as they are in the trough of their cycle. That's an intelligent allocation of capital on behalf of shareholders.
