Caterpillar beats earnings but stock drops 9% as AI power trade sentiment shifts.

Caterpillar reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings with adjusted EPS of $7.20, slightly beating estimates, and revenue growth of 17.3%. Despite this, its stock fell 9% premarket, reflecting a broader selloff in AI power-related stocks like Vertiv and GE Vernova. Investors appear to be punishing companies that meet but do not raise future guidance, signaling a shift in how the AI power trade is valued. Caterpillar's strong backlog and factory output limits suggest growth potential, but without raised outlooks, the stock may continue to face pressure.

Caterpillar's market cap stands at $327.92 billion with a dividend yield of 0.91%, while its stock price on Pluang dropped 9.59% as of Oct 29, 2026 19:01 WIB. Vertiv and GE Vernova also saw declines, with Vertiv down 3.41% and GE Vernova down 3.21%, reflecting a broader selloff in AI power-related industrial stocks. Pluang data shows mixed order activity with Caterpillar buyers slightly outweighing sellers at 55%.
