Today’s Featured Research Reports
Caterpillar’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Manufacturing – Construction and Mining industry over the past six months (+58.4% vs. +46.3%). The company posted strong revenue and earnings growth in the first quarter of 2026, supported by higher volumes across all segments. Backlog reached a record $63 billion, and management lifted its full-year outlook to low double-digit sales growth.
Construction demand remains solid, driven by infrastructure activity, rental fleet expansion and nonresidential projects. The Power & Energy segment is gaining from rising data-center-related power demand. Resource Industries stands to benefit from mining investments and aging equipment fleet, though timing and product mix may add volatility.
Recent tariff reductions may help ease cost pressures and support demand as customers have been delaying equipment purchases amid higher costs and trade uncertainty. A continued focus on high-margin aftermarket parts and services should further support growth.
