Caterpillar's Resilience and Growth Potential Justify Buy Rating Amid Tariff ChallengesWe estimate a net EPS headwind of $0.15 in 3Q and ~ $0.40 for the full year. We lower estimates to reflect the increased costs. We expect other heavy manufacturers to face similar headwinds. the U.S. Department of Commerce implemented a major expansion of Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, increasing the scope and impact of these duties; 50% tariffs now apply to a list of 407 new product categories of parts and components made out of metals. While CAT is the first to quantify the impact of these new tariffs, we expect other manufacturers will also be hit.
