Caterpillar outperforms Boeing for retirement portfolios with stronger earnings and dividends despite recent selloff.

Both Boeing and Caterpillar reported Q3 earnings recently, with Boeing missing estimates and Caterpillar beating them yet both stocks fell. Caterpillar shows stronger income, cash flow, and shareholder returns, including rising dividends and steady buybacks, making it more suitable for retirement portfolios. Boeing faces challenges with negative earnings per share, heavy debt, and no common dividend, relying on future cash flow recovery tied to aircraft certifications. Investors should watch Caterpillar's 2027 outlook and Boeing's production progress for future decisions.

On Pluang, Boeing trades at USD 171.15 with a slight 0.87% decline, while Caterpillar is priced at USD 634.00, down 2.07%. Caterpillar shows stronger investor interest with 92% buy orders compared to Boeing's 99% sell orders as of Oct 30, 2026 19:42 WIB.
