Caterpillar (CAT) has been a standout performer in the industrial sector, buoyed by optimism around infrastructure spending and a resilient U.S. economy. Yet, after a sharp rally, investors are asking the key question — has the stock run too far, too fast?
Caterpillar's NYSE: CAT stock will top $650 by year's end because its solid growth is underpinned by AI demand. That's right, Caterpillar, industrial giant that it is, is an AI play whose stock price uptrend has legs.
Here are some of the major companies whose stocks moved on the week's news.
Caterpillar has rallied ~40% since my latest update, seemingly driven by AI-powered growth in its Energy & Transportation segment. AI data center construction is fueling robust top-line results, but tariff-related manufacturing costs are eroding profitability, with operating profit and EPS both declining YoY. Despite record revenues and improved free cash flow, capital returns to shareholders have dropped, and so management remains cautious amid ongoing tariff headwinds.
Caterpillar just crushed Q3 earnings, up 11% in a day, thanks to a record $39.8B backlog and surging Energy & Transportation demand tied to data center power needs. The Energy & Transportation segment now leads sales, fueled by +33% growth in power generation for AI infrastructure—a structural shift in CAT's business mix. Despite high valuation multiples, CAT's recurring service revenues, strong backlog, and AI tailwinds justify a bullish outlook, though caution on FOMO is advised.
