  • Record backlog of $63 billion supports deliveries and near-term revenue visibility.
  • Skycatch and RPMGlobal expand mining digital twins, analytics, and automation capabilities.

What critics are saying

  • Tariff-driven cost inflation has already compressed mining margins by 700 basis points.
  • AI infrastructure spending slowdown would hit generators, backlog conversion, and valuation.
  • Caterpillar's premium multiple leaves little room for execution misses or demand normalization.

What makes Caterpillar Inc. unique

  • Global dealer network and Cat Financial widen customer reach across equipment lifecycle.
  • Three segments span construction, mining, and power, diversifying revenue sources.

Caterpillar stock doubles in a year on AI data centre power demand

Caterpillar has surged roughly 100% over the past year, making it one of the best performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The dividend stock's gains have been driven largely by surging demand for power generation equipment needed to support AI data centres. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Caterpillar's power generation sales jumped 44%, fueled by demand for generators and turbines supporting AI infrastructure. The company secured one of its largest single power contracts to supply generators for a data centre project in West Virginia. Power and energy sales have become Caterpillar's largest revenue contributor. Caterpillar is investing $725 million to expand production capacity and plans to more than double turbine engine capacity by 2030. In June 2025, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 7% to $1.51 per share.
