Caterpillar stock jumps toward $600 as 2026 begins — what to watch next for CAT sharesNEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed

Caterpillar Inc shares rose 4.4% on Friday, closing at $598.41 and finishing just shy of $600 after touching $599.60 in the session. The heavy-equipment maker opened at $577.59. The gain puts Caterpillar in focus before the next U.S. session, with investors shifting from year-end positioning to a data-heavy January. The employment report due Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13 are among the releases that can swing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts; futures markets show little chance of a move at the late-January meeting and nearly a 50% chance of a quarter-point cut in March, Reuters reported.

  • AMD Shares Dip Slightly Despite Bullish Chart; Q2 Earnings Eyed
    July 2, 2026, 11:26 AM EDT. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) eased 0.13% to $541.58 on Thursday, with the move tied to profit-taking after a recent run. The stock sits well above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day averages, pointing to a technical uptrend even as momentum signs like MACD show things are cooling off. Wall Street looks for strong Q2 numbers on Aug. 4, estimating $1.55 a share and $11.28 billion in sales, which keeps AMD trading at 180x earnings. Analysts stick with Buy and price targets between $499 and $700. AMD is still a major weight in semiconductor and AI ETFs. The high valuation speaks to growth hopes, but also raises the risk if results miss.
