CaterpillarCATDON'T BUYJan 14, 2016Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 05, 2026. Market Open.
Not just heavy yellow machinery anymore. Increasingly tied to power demand, electrification, industrial expansion, and the theme of reshoring. Sales targets for power generation segment have increased.
Backlog is ~$63B, very strong revenue visibility. About 25% earnings growth rate over next few years. Yield is 0.68%.
Looks attractive at 13 X earnings, but thinks there will continue to be a slowdown in many parts of the world. Wouldn’t jump into this at this time. Trading well below its 200 day moving average and is below the 50 day moving average as well. Technically there are lower lows and lower highs. Dividend yield of about 4.9%.
