CAT’s CEO exercised options for ~$11M of stock yesterday and sold only the amount needed to cover tax liabilities:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/18230/000110465924115989/xslF345X05/tm2427956-2_4seq1.xml

The options in questions did not expire until 2032, so this is a decidedly bullish transaction.

CAT—(-2%)—reports 3Q24 results—lowers_expectations_for 4Q24:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/caterpillar-reports-third-quarter-2024-103000540.html

3Q24 results were below consensus expectations due to soft sales in two of the three business segments: construction equipment (-9% YoY); and mining (-10% YoY). 3Q24 sales in the energy & transportation segment were +5% YoY.

Although CAT does not provide specific sales or earnings guidance for any quarter, CAT did say that 4Q24 sales will be down relative to 3Q24 and that full-year 2024 sales will be lower than the company previously expected.

CAT 2Q24 results have no surprises:

https://www.caterpillar.com/content/dam/caterpillarDotCom/releases/2q24/2q24-caterpillar-inc-financial-results.pdf

• 2Q24 sales were $16.7B, -4% YoY, with price increases not fully offsetting lower volume. CAT guided three months ago that 2Q24 would be a down quarter compared to 2Q23 (#msg-174303439).

• 2Q24 sales in the Construction segment (comprising 42% of non-financial corporate sales) were $6.68B, -7% YoY.

• 2Q24 sales in the Resources Industries (mining equipment) segment (comprising 20% of non-financial corporate sales) were $3.21B, -10% YoY.

• 2Q24 sales in the Energy & Transportation segment (comprising 46% of non-financial corporate sales) were $7.34B, +2% YoY.

• Note: The three business segments above sum to more than 100% of corporate non-financial sales due to inter-segment sales, which are removed from the total sales number.

• 2Q24 non-GAAP* EPS was $5.99, up from $5.55 in 2Q23.

• 2Q24 GAAP EPS was $5.48, down from $5.67 in 2Q23.

CAT does not provide specific guidance for sales or EPS, but it expects 2H24 sales to be slightly higher than 1H24.

*Excluding restructuring costs from non-GAAP EPS is a policy that I disapprove of because multinational, multifaceted businesses such as CAT have restructuring costs continually.

CAT is an AI play, says Barron’s:

https://www.barrons.com/articles/3-stocks-to-benefit-from-the-ai-datacenter-power-boom-7c07b498 Artificial-intelligence data centers will use much more electricity than their traditional counterparts, driving upgrades to electric-power infrastructure in a shift that offers opportunities for investors, according to Bernstein [analyst, Chad Dillard].

…Dillard said he expects Caterpillar and Cummins, which [make] both engines and power-generation equipment, to benefit as well. Each could pull in incremental revenue of more than $5 billion through 2030 as electric-power capacity is expanded. I previously posted that CAT’s mining-equipment business is a beneficiary of the transition to EVs (#msg-172040699), so CAT has a couple of “thematic” growth drivers in place.

CAT hikes dividend—increases buyback authorization:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/caterpillar-inc-increases-dividend-increases-143000701.html

The new annualized dividend is $5.64 (up 8% from $5.20). At the current share price (~$330), the new payout equates to a dividend yield of 1.7%. CAT has increased its dividend for 30 consecutive years.

The new $20B buyback authorization, added to the $1.8B remaining from the $15B 2022 authorization (#msg-168886038), gives a total buyback authorization of $21.8B. If CAT implements the full buyback authorization and (for the sake of discussion) buys shares at an average equal to the current market price, the share count will be reduced by about 14%. However, there is no time limit on the buyback authorization.

Addendum re non-GAAP vs GAAP EPS:

Excluding restructuring costs from non-GAAP EPS is a policy that disapprove of because multinational, multifaceted businesses such as CAT have restructuring costs continually. In 1Q24, however, non-GAAP EPS came in slightly lower than GAAP EPS due to the exclusion from non-GAAP EPS of a one-time tax benefit.

CAT guided to lower 2Q24 sales compared to 2Q23 (see slide #17), and this is apparently what caused today’s rather sharp selloff.Additionally, CAT shares had had a big runup this year and the stock was recently trading near its all-time high.

CAT reports 1Q24 results—shares_slide_on_soft 2Q24 guidance:

https://www.caterpillar.com/content/dam/caterpillarDotCom/releases/1q24/1q24-caterpillar-inc-financial-results.pdf

1Q24 sales were $15.8B, flat YoY, with price increases offsetting lower volume. Sales in the Construction and Resources Industries (mining equipment) segments were -5% and -7% YoY, respectively, while sales in the Energy & Transportation segment were +7% YoY. The E&T segment comprised 45% of CAT’s product sales in 1Q24.

1Q24 non-GAAP EPS was $5.60, up from $4.91 in 1Q23. 1Q24 GAAP EPS was $5.75 up/down from $3.74 in 1Q23.

CAT does not provide specific guidance for sales or EPS, but it expects full-year 2024 sales to be similar to 2023. However, CAT guided to lower 2Q24 sales compared to 2Q23 (see slide #17), and this is apparently what caused today’s rather sharp selloff.

What a great long-term investment CAT has been. These shares are up so much of late, that CAT is now hugely overweight in a Beneficiary IRA I have that requires me to take annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMD). The CAT position is now greater than the BRK position. So, I was able this week to harvest some profits and sell a relatively small amount of the CAT position to fund this year's RMD, and my remaining CAT position is right up there with BRK and a couple of others. The stock markets enable smart long-term investors to reap huge rewards.

Excluding restructuring costs from non-GAAP EPS is a policy that I take issue with insofar as a multinational, multifaceted business such as CAT’s has restructuring costs continually. In 4Q23, however, non-GAAP EPS came in slightly lower than GAAP EPS due to the exclusion from non-GAAP EPS of one-time tax and OPEB benefits.

I’m going to do something different by comparing Cat Tractor with the Russell 2000 ETF over a two-year period
Back in 2022 I bought $50,000 of the ETF and sold all of it in early 2023
It was a matter of following the money
Large and mid cap companies started to recover from the pandemic with help from legislation to expand America’s manufacturing capacity
The American consumer did its part
The IWM is comprised mostly of flaky Russell 2000 companies with an established history of no earnings
Investors tired of the hype about their promises and potential and instead opted for shares of mature, profitable companies that pay dividends
