Caterpillar Inc.
Industrials · Construction Machinery & Heavy Transportation Equipment
Structural: largest yellow-iron OEM globally with a dealer network (~160 independent dealers) that competitors cannot replicate at scale - switching costs are measured in decades of parts + service contracts on a multi-million-unit installed base.
Energy & Transportation (E&T) segment is the AI-buildout play: Solar Turbines (industrial gas turbines, 1-50MW) and large reciprocating engines feed datacenter prime + backup power demand alongside $GEV, $VRT, $ETN. Cat Financial provides captive-finance leverage on cycle.
(1) E&T backlog elevated from datacenter genset orders + LNG infrastructure; (2) Services revenue compounds independent of new-unit cycle (aftermarket gross margin ~30% vs new-unit ~20%); (3) Mining capex cycle turning - copper/lithium demand for electrification drives Resource Industries; (4) Pricing power retained post-COVID - list-price increases stuck; (5) Buyback cadence ($5B+/yr) shrinks float.
(1) Construction Industries cyclical - US non-resi + China property remain soft; (2) Resource Industries lumpy - single-mine order push/pulls swing quarterly prints; (3) Tariff exposure on cross-border steel + components; (4) Dealer inventory discipline can mask end-demand weakness 2-3 quarters; (5) E&T datacenter narrative compresses if hyperscaler capex slows in 2027.
