On July 9, Caterpillar rose 3.16% in pre-market trading, trading at $978.0/share, with turnover of $6.96 million, rebounding after consecutive sessions of pullback.
On the news front, Bernstein raised its target price on Caterpillar from $879 to $1,002, while FactSet consensus among analysts shows an average rating of overweight with a mean target price of $992.12, providing a clear support signal above the current price level. The upgrade comes after the stock retreated sharply from its $1,000-plus highs following Michael Burry's disclosed short position on July 1, which triggered a 6.9% single-day decline on July 2 — the largest since April of last year.
The broader Construction Machinery & Heavy Trucks sector showed signs of recovery, with Cummins up 2.18% and Terex up 1.93%, suggesting improving sentiment after the recent selloff driven by concerns over elevated AI-infrastructure valuations.
