Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), one of the leading industrial machinery manufacturers, continues to make significant strides in the business world. Initiating coverage with a market perform recommendation, Raymond James acknowledges CAT's robust market performance. The company has highlighted their vision for the
'Next 100 Years' at CES while also continuing to invest in future technology advancements at Luck Stone Quarry. All of this seems to build investor confidence as displayed by Meridian Wealth Management LLC and Citizens Financial Group Inc.'s recent acquisition of CAT shares. However, the third quarter of 2024 displayed a downtick in financial results, with both Sales and Income going down by 4%. Despite this,
Jim Cramer remains optimistic about the stock. Yet, financial announcements for all the three quarters of 2024 from Cat Financial showed slump in performance, leading to downgrades by Evercore ISI Group. CAT managed to raise a record of
$15.2 million in their United Way Campaign, showcasing the company's commitment to social responsibility. The organization continues to host diverse events like the first-ever Dealer Technician Challenge, while exploring areas like AI, autonomous mining truck and adopting an expansive energy transition program.
Q3 earnings and revenue were disappointing due to weakening demand in the construction. Earnings are expected to decline further, causing concern amongst investors. Despite the challenges, CAT maintains a positive long-term growth outlook.
