Caterpillar Inc.
The quarter supports a constructive operating thesis: resilient demand, a record backlog, and raised guidance provide evidence for continued growth, particularly in power generation. The main counterweights are demand visibility beyond the current backlog, tariff and cost pressure, and execution of the planned capacity and product ramps.
Caterpillar Inc.
Caterpillar's first quarter of fiscal 2026 delivered a double beat, with revenue of $17.4 billion (up 22% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $5.54, both above consensus, driven by surging data-center power demand that lifted the order backlog to a record $63 billion, up 79% year-over-year. Management raised full-year guidance from the prior 5 to 7 percent growth outlook to low double-digit growth with higher margin expectations, signaling confidence that the power-generation cycle has further to run. The stock responded with a roughly 9.9% move on the session.
