On July 15, Caterpillar fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $903.19/share, with turnover of $557 million. The stock continued its pullback despite Oppenheimer raising its price target to $1,105 on the same day.

The decline reflects broad-based selling pressure across the Construction Machinery and Heavy Trucks sector, with Wabash National down 9.05%, Cummins down 2.16%, and Federal Signal down 1.81%. Additionally, the stock remains under pressure from renowned investor Michael Burry, who disclosed a short position at $1,060.98 in early July, citing the stock's price-to-sales ratio hitting a 30-year high amid what he views as an overextended AI-linked rally.

Despite a wave of bullish analyst upgrades — Citi raising its target to $1,100, Bernstein to $1,002, and Baird to $1,200 — the stock has continued to retreat from its highs, reflecting a clear divergence between institutional optimism and market selling pressure driven by valuation concerns.
