Recent Updates on CAT stock
In the past 24 hours, Caterpillar has experienced several price target adjustments following its recent earnings report. DA Davidson raised its price target due to Caterpillar’s Q4 earnings beat and the strong performance of its datacenter and energy-related projects, despite mixed results in construction and mining. However, Truist lowered its target due to a 5% decline in Q4 sales attributed to weaker volumes and shipment delays, although it highlighted a better-than-expected reduction in dealer inventories. UBS upgraded Caterpillar to Neutral, noting that the company’s expectations have reset lower after two quarterly EBIT misses, making the risk/reward more balanced with a positive outlook for 2026. BofA also lowered its target, citing underwhelming operating profit despite better-than-expected Q4 EPS, while acknowledging a significant backlog increase. Overall, Caterpillar’s strong backlog and growth in services revenue are seen as positive indicators for future performance, but challenges in sales volume and operating margins remain.
