Caterpillar Stock (CAT) Weekend Update: Shares Hold Near $583 as Year-End “Santa Rally” Watch Meets Tariff and AI-Power Tailwinds

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 2:22 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) heads into the weekend with investors focused on a familiar year-end setup: thin holiday trading conditions, a market flirting with milestones, and a 2026 outlook shaped by rate-cut expectations—all while Caterpillar’s own narrative balances cyclical construction demand, tariff-related cost pressure, and a fast-growing “AI infrastructure” power theme. With U.S. exchanges closed Saturday, Caterpillar shares were last quoted around $583, essentially flat-to-slightly lower versus the prior close after Friday’s muted, post-Christmas session.

Vedanta Share Price Hits 52-Week High as NCLT Clears Demerger; ₹81,743 Crore Capex Puts Energy-Transition Metals in Focus

Vedanta Ltd. is ending 2025 with momentum on multiple fronts: a fresh 52-week high in its share price, a tribunal-cleared demerger that could reshape the group into cleaner “pure-play” businesses, and a multi-year capex pipeline that ties directly into India’s infrastructure build-out and energy transition.

GOV.UK+2Reuters+2 The two storylines — one about the future of the North Sea economy and the UK’s “clean power” ambitions, the other about a high-profile hospitality expansion — offer a snapshot of Aberdeen’s shifting identity: a city trying

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 2:07 PM ET — Market closed. Philip Morris International Inc.
