Argus raised the firm’s price target on Caterpillar to $380 from $360 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings beat. Despite a sell-off related to slow top-line growth, the firm is impressed with the company’s margin improvement in recent quarters and expects the management to remain committed to its goals, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Caterpillar shares deserve a premium multiple in light of the company’s long-term performance versus the broad market and the Industrial sector, Argus added.
