CAT looks like a solid company that has been pushed down too hard for now. Signs show the slide is slowing and buying interest is improving, with the recent average price starting to turn up. The latest quarter was slightly better than expected and fair value was raised, which helps limit downside. With economy headlines pressuring these stocks, we aim for a 0-3 month snap-back, building carefully and keeping size modest.

Primary drivers

  • The stock fell too far, too fast, and may bounce back as selling pressure eases.
  • Price action and buying interest look stronger than in recent days.
  • Last quarter slightly beat expectations, and fair value was raised.
  • As the economy steadies, this kind of stock often snaps back after soft periods
