Thinking of trading CATERPILLAR?
- 1. Caterpillar is a cyclical stock and its prospects will vary in line with conditions in its end markets. That said, with cyclicals, it's often the case that the variance in its earnings from a relatively small part of revenue can be the swing factor in determining the company's prospects. 2. The interesting thing from an end-market perspective is that mining commodity and energy prices have, so far this year, moved in the right direction to support Caterpillar's positive outlook. 3. Meanwhile, the construction industries segment is expected to benefit from ongoing growth in the U.S. economy and what CEO Jim Umpleby described as "stable local funding for infrastructure development."

1. The profitability of the resources industries and energy and transportation segments is the key to Caterpillar meeting its full-year 2019 outlook for profit per share of $12. 06-$13. 06, representing a growth of 7.5% to 16.4% on last year's $11.22. 2. It won't be completely smooth sailing in 2019. Caterpillar still needs growth from construction industries, and there are some concerns here. For example, construction industries retail sales to the Asia/Pacific region were down 10%, 2%, and 1% in January, February, and March, and Bonfield admitted that "very" competitive pricing had had an impact on the company's market share in China. Thus, Caterpillar expects industry sales to be up in China for the full year but the company's sales to be flat -- a particular worry when considering the potential for further friction in the U.S./China trade dispute. 3. On the cost side, lower steel prices should come through in the second half and some potential cost savings from an easing of bottlenecks in its supply chain are also expected.
