CAT reports weak 1Q20 results—suspends 2020 guidance—stock rises anyhow (+4% today, one day after PR release yesterday morning):

https://www.caterpillar.com/en/news/corporate-press-releases/h/1q20-caterpillar-financials.html

The only “good” news in CAT’s 1Q20 report is that 75% of CAT’s global manufacturing facilities continued operating throughout 1Q20 and are still operating now because they are deemed an essential business by almost all jurisdictions.

[nowwhat2]

Yup - Up thru my 110 level I see today....

But.......(this from Jan 31st) https://zensecondlife.blogspot.com/2020/01/

"When the Japanese attempted all of their stimulus gimmicks they were roundly criticized by economists in the U.S. for not taking on the hard reforms to create a sustainable economy........"

[jimmy667]

the next stimulus bill might be infrastructure spending bill to pull out of recession. That pushes CAT to front and center stage.

[nowwhat2]

Caterpillar's just itchin' to get busted out (from its' STUPID damned SILLY $ 110 Level)....


"SCREW the (your) freaking damned Magnet man !.....We are heading UP !".......plus


"Mr. Rothschild just handed us 50 million to DO IT !".....


Which he borrowed from Jerome Powell

Barron’s likes CAT on valuation—says it’s at a cyclical earnings trough:

CAT is in one of the portfolios I manage*, but I’m not planning to add in the near future.

One concern: CAT hasn’t talked about Covid-19 since its 4Q19 earnings release on 1/31/20 (https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=153592040 ), which is an eternity in viral time.

Navy discipline is so strict, that it makes the other branches of the Military look like chaos.

Have you read about the recent naval disasters?

Have you read about the failure of the Zumwalt ventures?

[Norton1973]

It paid off to hold CAT, stock. :)

[ernie44]

allways drops after a div-payment

[giveit2me]

we'll see several months from now. i laughed when i first read it, but then i thought, retired navy officer engineer. this screams discipline and honesty and creativity... Navy discipline is so strict, that it makes the other branches of the Military look like chaos.

"Top secret", "proprietary", "cars go for 1500 miles before you have to replace the anodes", no specs, no test results, no proof, just vague claims and requests for investment. There is no support for this. The current major infrastructure investments support Lithium-ion and hydrogen fuel cell, not soda can driven propellers. This actually kind of reminds me of the 200mpg carburetor that the big bad oil company's suppressed.

That's quite jocular.

Stocks to Watch May 13th 2019 - $CAT $NVDA $HD

[TFMG]

Caterpillar was already looking vulnerable before today.

Since or last look at Caterpillar in April, things have not improved much, the chart and price action continues to lack momentum in a bull market. Price indicators continue to point towards a bearish move, which is happening today, currently the price is below the 200ma in pre-market. Keep the $128 price level on your watchlist, a break below is a short signal to us.

These Stocks Will Sink If There Is No Trade Deal

Over the weekend we heard there was news that China and the United States were far apart when it comes to a trade deal. It was originally reported that the Chinese would not send delegates to the U.S. this week for more negotiations. This news sent the Shanghai market sharply lower as it declined by nearly 6.0 percent overnight. The U.S. markets also started the session sharply lower at the open but have rallied decently off the lows so far today.

Many different sectors and stocks will come under pressure if there is no trade deal soon. First, the semiconductor stocks are highly tied to a Chinese trade deal. This morning, the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEArca:SMH) is trading lower by 2.0 percent on the news. Many individual semiconductor stocks such as Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA), Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:SWKS), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) and many others are also trading sharply lower today.

Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:CAT) is also another stock that could be punished if there is no trade deal. Remember, they are the leading manufacturer in construction and mining equipment. Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a U.S. tech giant that gets about 18.0 percent of its revenue from China, so this stock could be adversely affected on a failed trade deal. The casino stocks could also be vulnerable on a failed trade deal. Stocks such as Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:WYNN, Las Vegas Sands Corp (NYSE:LVS) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) are heavily tied to China's Macau market.

Get ready, this trade story between the U.S. and China could just be heating up. While both countries want and need a trade deal the negotiations seem to have reached a road block. Either way, this news should create solid trading opportunities for traders and investors along the way.

On May 2, 2019, Caterpillar Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release relating to an Investor Day conference it is hosting in Clayton, North Carolina. The Company announced in the press release, among other items, that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.03 per share of Company common stock, payable on August 20, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2019. The per share dividend of $1.03 is an increase of 20% from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.86 per share.

[Dubster watching]

Starting to get my long term interest again.

[catty]

I'm getting dissolutioned with the stock. Still holding on, but on the fence. Any feedback?

[benfrankledger]

Construction is Caterpillar's largest segment at about 39% of total revenue. Its revenue grew in the high single-digit range while the other two operating segments both grew by double-digits. The lion's share of Construction's revenue growth was derived from North America, which was up 17% Y/Y. North America was driven by higher demand for new equipment, of which about half was due to an increase in dealer inventories. Oil and gas activities and non-residential building construction were catalysts during the quarter. They could remain catalysts until the market realizes there may not be enough demand to justify such business fixed investment.
