On July 30, Caterpillar rose 3.23% in pre-market trading, trading at 809.99 USD/share, with turnover of 305.2万美元. The rebound follows a research note from Oppenheimer stating that the stock's risk-reward profile has shifted favorably after its recent pullback.
Oppenheimer noted that Caterpillar's stock decline was driven by market rotation and the unwinding of AI infrastructure trades in recent weeks. The firm highlighted that fundamental tailwinds remain strong, with momentum in Construction and Resource Industries segments being understated in consensus estimates. If investors continue to assign an AI premium to the stock, the risk-reward profile appears attractive at current levels.
The stock had previously fallen over 21% from its highs after Michael Burry initiated a short position at $1,060.98 in early July, citing a price-to-sales ratio at a 30-year high. Additionally, Baird downgraded Caterpillar to Neutral on July 29, cutting its target from $1,200 to $900. Caterpillar is scheduled to report Q2 earnings on August 4, with consensus expecting revenue of $19.335 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.25.
