Caterpillar (CAT) recently experienced a slight drop in the wider market but has since been up 3.4% since its last earnings report, sparking investor interest. The company has introduced eight new next-generation skid steer loaders and Compact Track Loaders (CTLs), and has also revamped its energy transition program, 'Pathways to Sustainability', implying a focus on eco-friendly business practices. Notably, CAT reported strong positive financial results for the first quarter of 2024, rousing long-term growth and value stock narrative. Contributing to these positive developments, Caterpillar is also investing heavily, visible from their $90 million investment in Texas. However, there is insider selling activity at Caterpillar, which might be concerning for some investors. Furthermore, Caterpillar has made a strategic agreement with CRH for electric off-highway trucks and charging solutions, highlighting CAT’s shift towards eco-friendly tech. In the same line, they recently showcased their hydrogen fuel cell technology for backup power at a Microsoft Data Center. Despite disappointing predictions of a sales volume decline, CAT’s Q2 earnings surpassed estimates, with profit bolstered by stronger pricing.
