Caterpillar stock climbs in New York as CAT traders brace for earnings, Fed week
Caterpillar shares rose 1.7% to $637.22 Monday, with 1.3 million shares traded ahead of its Jan. 29 earnings report. Analysts expect higher revenue but lower profit, projecting $4.67 per share on $17.89 billion. Options pricing signals a possible 6% move after results. The Federal Reserve’s Jan. 27-28 meeting and ongoing tariffs add uncertainty for machinery stocks.
