Enjoying The Decline – Caterpillar Stock (CAT) Trades For 2015 Update – Mar 21 2015

Caterpillar Stock has been in my portfolio on and off for many years. 2013 marked the first year however where I started trading CAT Stock regularly. In 2013 the return was 27% against capital in use. The return in 2014 matched the gains made in 2013 at 28%.

But whereas a lot of trades were done in 2013, 2014 saw fewer trades and more periods where I indicated Caterpillar Stock was overvalued and I did not wish to risk my capital in the stock. In particular on Nov 14 I wrote on the Cat Stock Trade Summary that the stock was overvalued and I was staying out of Caterpillar Stock until it came back to the mid 80’s. The only thing that would have changed my outlook would have been increasing revenue numbers from Caterpillar Stock which has not yet happened.

Caterpillar Stock Chart to Mar 20 2015

Looking at the chart below we can see that Caterpillar Stock is back within fair value after falling below $100 and $90. Both of the higher valuations were somewhat puzzling as the stock kept rising despite repeated economic signals globally that continually pointed to slowing economic growth around the world. Caterpillar Stock is one of those “bellwether” stocks that some investors follow. It is the largest machinery manufacturer in the world that has operations globally. When the world’s economies are humming along, Caterpillar Stock is also rising. But when the economies are slowing, the stock normally falls. This did not happen until this past January.
