Deere reaches settlement in U.S. right-to-repair lawsuit (DE:NYSE)

Deere announced it reached a settlement to resolve pending multidistrict "right to repair" litigation alleging manufacturers restrict competition by controlling access to repair tools and software. The company said the matter is settled but provided no terms in the excerpt. The settlement removes a legal overhang for Deere and the broader equipment sector, though absent disclosed financial terms or injunctions the near-term market and financial impact is likely limited.
