Will continue to be the big player in the construction of both large and small sites. As soon as the credit crunch solves it's own making,we will see a new step forward in requirements for large earth moving equipment. Gas turbines will also be a big part of the increase for rural needs of electric power generation.

World Class heavy equipment manufacturer, visit any construction site and you will see their products. They stayed profitable even when construction market crashed. As the construction market rebounds their sales will increase. Over the next 5 years overseas sales should increase in places like China and Brazil as they embark on more construction products.

I look for EPS to grow to almost $8-10 per share in the next 12- 24 months. At a PE of only 15 this is a $120-$150 stock
Recs
Their equipment is everywhere and I can't see anyone jumping up to replace them
Recs
Poor fundamentals, near 52 week high.

Construction is already coming back and Cat has a hand in industrial markets with far reaching impact, unlike Deere with its base in consumer/farmer markets.
Recs
Really picking up speed ahead of recovery. Likely to get red hot when pent up demand hits sales. A leaner meaner stock that's ready to rumble.

People are pumped up on earnings. I think this is a time to take the opposite side. It missed on revenues. Made the number by cost cutting. They also projected FY-09 higher but adding the difference in of their beat, looks like the company is projecting to miss analyst estimates next quarter.
Recs
With EPS growth at -52% year over year, and revenue down nearly 40%, I think this stock is very over valued. With that being said the stock is up 37% year over year. Which means this stock is due to go down.
Recs
Heavy equipment will be needed in the near future.

The name and brand says it all. No place to go but up. CAT is a buy in my book.

If the promised investment in public infrastructure comes to fruition CAT should be one of the primary beneficiaries,

Global (China) business will help in short term, but I think if & when the US economy really picks up that CAT will se a huge growth over the next 3 to 5 years. I'm in with a small position at $26.40 so I'm feeling pretty good already, just wish I had bought more.

This account tracks the performance of the investment firm Ruane, Cunniff, and Goldfarb - the investment manager of Sequoia Fund.

We're coming to the end of a roughly 30 year commodity cycle and with the second leg of the recession only a quarter or two away, the earnings projections seem to optimistic to me.
Recs
Personally, I don't own CAT and I've been burned by it before as a "Caps" choice, but I still like what I see. Overseas demand in particular, is likely to be key for continued growth for Caterpillar. Even as fuel/ oil costs might rise, heavy construction and maintainence of said equipment isn't likely to decrease anytime soon. Besides, I'm a sucker for a strong DOW play that also pays me a nice dividend and CAT does just that (being 3.45% at this current sub-$49 position). I'd stay in for the long term on this one as we wait for a more sustained global market turnaround, in perhaps 18-36mo.
