The New Farming Age: Lindsay Stock (LNN) Produce Profits

Coming from a family of farmers, I learned from an early age how important it is to do more with less.

This mantra has stuck with the American farmer for decades.

Now technology is lending a helping hand.

Farmers are able to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), sensors and data analytics to work harder and smarter.

This has created a boom in precision agriculture — where farmers use technology and data analysis to increase crop production and reduce labor on farms all over the world.

Market researcher Imarc Group projects the precision agriculture market will reach $14.4 billion by 2027 — a 113.6% increase from 2021.

Using our proprietary Stock Power Ratings system, I found a company that manufactures specialized products used in precision agriculture.

Today’s Power Stock is Lindsay Corp. (NYSE: LNN).

Lindsay Stock: High Marks on Quality and Growth

Omaha, Nebraska-based Lindsay recently notched an outstanding quarter.

Highlights include:

Lindsay stock scores a 91 on our growth factor thanks in part to these strong quarterly numbers.

The stock is also strong on our quality factor, scoring a 92.

Its returns on assets, equity and investment are all higher than peer averages… and its operating margin is 13.6%, compared to its industry peer average of negative 2.2%.

This all tells us that LNN is a better growth and quality stock than its machinery manufacturing peers.

But the stock's momentum is also worth noting.

Just look at the chart below:
