Addendum re non-GAAP vs GAAP EPS:

Excluding restructuring costs from non-GAAP EPS is a policy that disapprove of because multinational, multifaceted businesses such as CAT have restructuring costs continually. In 1Q24, however, non-GAAP EPS came in slightly lower than GAAP EPS due to the exclusion from non-GAAP EPS of a one-time tax benefit.

CAT guided to lower 2Q24 sales compared to 2Q23 (see slide #17), and this is apparently what caused today’s rather sharp selloff.Additionally, CAT shares had had a big runup this year and the stock was recently trading near its all-time high.

CAT reports 1Q24 results—shares_slide_on_soft 2Q24 guidance:

https://www.caterpillar.com/content/dam/caterpillarDotCom/releases/1q24/1q24-caterpillar-inc-financial-results.pdf

1Q24 sales were $15.8B, flat YoY, with price increases offsetting lower volume. Sales in the Construction and Resources Industries (mining equipment) segments were -5% and -7% YoY, respectively, while sales in the Energy & Transportation segment were +7% YoY. The E&T segment comprised 45% of CAT’s product sales in 1Q24.

1Q24 non-GAAP EPS was $5.60, up from $4.91 in 1Q23. 1Q24 GAAP EPS was $5.75 up/down from $3.74 in 1Q23.

CAT does not provide specific guidance for sales or EPS, but it expects full-year 2024 sales to be similar to 2023. However, CAT guided to lower 2Q24 sales compared to 2Q23 (see slide #17), and this is apparently what caused today’s rather sharp selloff.

What a great long-term investment CAT has been. These shares are up so much of late, that CAT is now hugely overweight in a Beneficiary IRA I have that requires me to take annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMD). The CAT position is now greater than the BRK position. So, I was able this week to harvest some profits and sell a relatively small amount of the CAT position to fund this year's RMD, and my remaining CAT position is right up there with BRK and a couple of others. The stock markets enable smart long-term investors to reap huge rewards.

I’m going to do something different by comparing Cat Tractor with the Russell 2000 ETF over a two-year period
Back in 2022 I bought $50,000 of the ETF and sold all of it in early 2023
It was a matter of following the money
Large and mid cap companies started to recover from the pandemic with help from legislation to expand America’s manufacturing capacity
The American consumer did its part
The IWM is comprised mostly of flaky Russell 2000 companies with an established history of no earnings
Investors tired of the hype about their promises and potential and instead opted for shares of mature, profitable companies that pay dividends

CAT increases dividend for 29th consecutive year:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/caterpillar-inc-increases-dividend-142600079.html

The new annualized dividend is $5.20 (up from $4.80). At the current share price (~$243), the new payout equates to a yield of 2.1%. Although this yield is not that high, CAT has raised the dividend by 17% cumulatively ($4.44—>$5.20) in the past two years (#msg-169089779). Moreover, CAT has an active share-buyback program.

CAT—>Premiere player in transition to EVs:

What makes CAT a premiere player in the transition to EVs is not what CAT is doing with the equipment it sells to mining companies. Rather, CAT is a premier player in the transition to EVs because EVs require 6x the volume of mined materials as ICEs, which will greatly increase the demand for CAT’s heavy-duty mining equipment.

Just a few years ago, a mine had to have 70 or more trucks to justify investing in autonomy, according to Umpleby.

CAT...is an EV play, the CEO says on today’s GS webcast. When I mentioned the above to an experienced investor, they thought I was talking about CAT’s electrifying its lineup of mining equipment, which was a reasonable interpretation. However, what I intended to convey in the above statement is that the robust demand for minerals that go into EV batteries will inevitably boost the demand for mining equipment sold by CAT.

CAT does intend to electrify its lineup of mining equipment, but that’s a separate (and subordinate) issue.
