Caterpillar stock drops nearly 30%, now seen as a strong buy with rising Power & Energy profits.

Caterpillar's stock has fallen nearly 30% from its recent peak, reaching a price level where the risk-reward ratio appears attractive again. The company is shifting from being viewed mainly as a cyclical industrial to a business with growing Power & Energy segments, which offer multi-year order visibility, stronger margins, and less dependence on traditional construction cycles. This shift, along with services, connected assets, rental, and mining replacement demand, supports a potentially higher valuation. A Sum-of-the-Parts valuation suggests a fair value around $1,290 per share, leading the analyst to rate Caterpillar as a Strong Buy, especially with expected execution in the Power segment.
