Three ratings, each a percentile against the 26 companies we cover in Farm and Heavy Construction Machinery. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.
Near the top of its industry
The most recent month is left out on purpose: returns tend to persist over 7–12 months and the newest one tends to reverse. This describes what the price has done, and says nothing about what it will do.
Below most of its industry
Yields, so higher means cheaper — a loss-making company ranks last instead of dropping out. Cheap is not the same as good: a high yield is often a price that fell for a reason. All five measures available.

What management does with the money — scored on whatever the filings answer, never as a share of the total.
A description of where this company sits among its competitors, not a recommendation. Ratings updated Sep 26, 2026.
Caterpillar makes construction and mining equipment, engines and power-generation systems, turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives. It sells most machines through independent dealers, who also sell parts and service the equipment; some products are sold directly to customers. Its finance arm provides loans and leases to equipment buyers and dealers. On its latest earnings call, management described a dealer-owned rental joint venture for large construction projects and the acquisition of Skycatch, which adds mining data technology.
