Caterpillar Stock Slumps 16.4% in a Month Ahead of Q2 Earnings Amid Cooling AI Trade
English summary
Caterpillar shares have fallen 16.4% over the past month and were trading 22.3% below their 52-week high as of July 28. The decline comes ahead of the company's second-quarter earnings report scheduled for August 4, with consensus estimates of earnings per share of $6.25 on revenue of $19.31 billion. The pullback is attributed to investors cooling on the artificial intelligence trade that had previously boosted the stock. The article suggests the drop may present a buying opportunity before the earnings release.
