Michael Feniger has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Caterpillar’s strong position in the market, particularly through its Solar subsidiary. Feniger emphasizes that Solar’s turbine business is a standout in terms of profitability and market potential, with its products being highly regarded for their emissions performance, reliability, and adaptability to various energy needs. This subsidiary is not only a significant contributor to Caterpillar’s earnings but also offers a promising outlook with its high-margin products.
Furthermore, Feniger notes that Solar’s aftermarket services, which do not rely on the dealer network, provide Caterpillar with enhanced profitability and visibility. The long-term relationships in the energy sector, particularly in oil and gas, are expected to continue supporting Solar’s business, even as it explores opportunities in power generation and data centers. These strategic advantages, combined with the potential for incremental capacity expansion, underpin Feniger’s confidence in Caterpillar’s stock and justify the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Feniger is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.5% and a 65.55% success rate. Feniger covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Caterpillar, Aecom Technology, and Agco.
In another report released on October 8, Truist Financial also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $582.00 price target.
