Michael Feniger has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Caterpillar’s strategic positioning and potential for growth. Caterpillar’s portfolio, particularly in the on-site power sector, is well-aligned with the increasing demand for power solutions in data centers. The company’s leadership in air permits for backup power and its significant market presence underscore its competitive advantage.
Additionally, the widening gap between data center construction and power infrastructure suggests a continued high demand for Caterpillar’s ‘bridge-to-grid’ solutions. Despite the rapid capacity expansion, which poses some risks, the fundamentals remain strong. The anticipated support from the Machinery cycle, along with positive indicators in construction and mining equipment, further reinforces the Buy rating.
