Dow 30 component, Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT) reported strong third-quarter earnings, which exceeded analysts’ expectations as demand for heavy machinery across the construction and mining sectors outweighed concerns of ongoing supply-chain hangups. The company reported adjusted quarterly profit of $2.66 a share, beating the $2.20 a share average of analysts’ estimates.
Demand for Caterpillar equipment remains solid from North America to Europe and the Middle East to most parts of Asia, and despite inflation, in materials and freight costs the company has been able to meet those costs through an increase in machine prices. The company expects a weak market in China and expects sales will drop in the final quarter of the year.
