Investigation launched into Caterpillar for possible securities fraud after Q3 profit concerns.

Pomerantz LLP is investigating Caterpillar Inc. for potential securities fraud following the company's Q3 2026 financial report. Caterpillar disclosed a 22% rise in inventories and $460 million in increased manufacturing costs, including higher freight, material costs, and tariffs. The report also revealed $128 million in tariff recoveries, raising doubts about the sustainability of its operating profits. After the announcement, Caterpillar's stock dropped 9.25%, signaling investor concern and prompting legal scrutiny.

Caterpillar Inc. trades at USD 609.36 on Pluang as of Nov 13, 2026 09:51 WIB, showing a 1.29% gain in the last day despite the recent legal investigation news. The stock's market capitalization stands at $275.29 billion with a dividend yield of 1.08%, and Pluang order activity is slightly tilted towards buying at 55%. This trading behavior contrasts with the article's note of a 9.25% drop following the Q3 financial report disclosures.
