Stellar beat on earnings and overall report, including increase in outlook and PPS projection going forward. CAT shares were up hard pre-market, so hard to figure them being down right now.

I talked to an employ at the Victoria facility and he said they are working 2 shifts with overtime and current output of Excavators is 30 per day at this time! I will try to go get pictures of the inventory in the yard!

Caterpillar Celebrates Grand Opening of New Hydraulic Excavator Facility in Victoria, Texas

The new factory is the most recent expansion for Caterpillar in the United States and is expected to employ about 800 people once it is fully operational

When operating at full capacity, the new Victoria facility will more than triple the current capacity of hydraulic excavators produced by the company in the United States. The excavators to be produced in Victoria are now made at a Caterpillar facility in Aurora, Illinois, and at a Caterpillar facility in Akashi, Japan. Expanding capacity in the United States at the new Victoria location will position Caterpillar to better serve North American excavator customers with a single, dedicated facility. In addition, the Caterpillar facility in Aurora will then focus on other products while the facility in Akashi will be more focused on serving customers in Asia.

$CAT was one of the worst affected stocks when the US and China started exchanging tariffs on each other’s goods and services as it fell by more than 6% in the previous week and also affected the DJIA.

The investor perception is that the company will be among the worst-affected firms in the trade war and the uncertainty with respect to oil and other commodity prices. This resulted in a heavy sell-off.

However, things are not so bad for CAT if we look at the company’s recent performance as well as its future outlook.

[benfrankledger]

$CAT Actual: 10.2% increase to $3.44

Forward yield: 2.52%

This is the 25th year of dividend growth for the heavy equipment manufacturer, making it eligible to join the list of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats.

The secret to making money in stocks isn't big gains, it's small losses.

Even CAT falling. So many reg flags.

[sandman44]

OUCH , what a haircut !

[StockHunter89]

Lol this guy

[NewMoney]

Ok. That’s certainly possible but as it gets lower the divy yield goes up until it’s too attractive to ignore and dividend traders push it back up. It’s as if the company pays you to hold the stock until it goes up enough for you. Dividends tend to limit the up as well as the down side for the same reason.

We’ll see.

[sandman44]

$133.00 ?

[NewMoney]

Oh, my bad, I thought you we’re actually analyzing this stock to make long side investment gains. Consider letting us in on your short side target price so we can consider it.

[sandman44]

I understand how the REAL WORLD WORKS , like I said TIMMMMMMBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRR!!! CAT

[NewMoney]

You understand this is an infrastructure play that pays a dividend and we’re pouring money into infrastructure right now and that stocks are priced on potential future earnings correct?

I’m not sure what top heavy is supposed to indicate but this is probably a safe bet.

Good luck though.

[sandman44]

Way 2 TOP HEAVY

[NewMoney]

Well now you’ve killed it. Nice going.

[sandman44]

Watch out , Timmmmbbbbbeeeerrrrrr

Two percent yield and infrastructure spending incoming what’s not to like?

[NewMoney]

[sandman44]

TIMMMMBBBBBBRRRRRRR! CAT

[NewMoney]

Consolidating today. Look for a move higher. Company firing on all cylinders. Massive infrastructure spending and economy in general should send it higher.

After Tax Reform Will Infrastructure Be Next?

It is safe to say that most of 2017 has been dominated by the U.S. tax reform bill. Almost everyday we hear a politician comment about the bill that moves the stock market. At this stage of the game, the GOP better get this bill passed. Yesterday, Alabama voted in a Democratic to the U.S. Senate and this could be a problem for the GOP if this bill does not get passed before he is sworn in. At this time, the tax reform bill is expected to be signed into law next week.

So what is next for the stock market to look forward to after tax reform? It is infrastructure, this has been promised by the administration and will likely be the next big task that is taken on by the GOP in 2018. Here is a list of possible stocks that could be in play next year if there is an infrastructure bill introduced. They are Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (NYSE:CBI), United Rentals, Inc (NYSE:URI), Martin Marietta Materials (NYSE:MLM), Cemex SAB de CV (NYSE:CX), U.S. Concrete Inc (NASDAQ:USCR), Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:JEC), Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR), Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC) and Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:CAT). Traders should be watching the charts of these stocks closely as they will often give us the pattern formation when the infrastructure debate will take place in the United States.
