This Industry Is Poised to Surge Amid Depressed Expectations
By Justin Carley - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, CMI, DE
Machinery stocks have been pushed to the side in the last twelve months following a legendary boom/bust/boom during the 2006-2010 timeframe. Global growth has been weak of late and the impact has been felt on related equities. The S&P 500 Machinery Index has lagged the broader S&P 500 by more than 11% during the past year. Recent quarterly results were generally bad and forward guidance offered nothing to get excited about. But with global growth poised to improve in 2013 and massive reflationary efforts still underway by central banks across the globe, these pessimistic views may prove to be just that. The combination of higher earnings expectations, multiple expansion, and a bullish equity backdrop could see several stocks in this industry surge to new all-time highs.

2013 Outlook for Mining Equipment Companies
By Zain Abbas - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, JOY, MTW, OSK, TEX
The bears believe that Construction and Mining equipment manufacturers had a tough 2012 given lower-than-expected growth in Chinese GDP. On the other hand, bulls have got solid points to defend a strong 2013. Investors are desperately waiting for their earnings releases in order to judge who is right; the bears or the bulls?
Before discussing the earnings preview of different players in this industry, I would like to list the more »

Why Cramer calls this stock "The Best Dog of the Dow"?
By Masam Abbas - January 11, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, DE, HTHIY.PK, JOY, PCAR
Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) investors were extremely delighted when they heard the company announcing that its global sales rose by 5%, marking the 30th straight three-month period of retail-sales expansion for this economic bellwether. But bullish and bearish investors both retain different takes about how the company will fare in the future.
The bears believe that the investors seem to ignore the way Caterpillar's growth rate has been easing more »

3 Reasons Why you Need to be in Equities
By Justin Carley - October 29, 2012 | Tickers: AA, BEAM, CAT, CSCO, UTX
Markets are starting to roll over, with 3Q 2012 S&P 500 earnings on pace to record their first yearly decline in five years. Follow this up with forward guidance from industry bellwethers that in many cases are downright scary (Apple, Amazon, Caterpillar, DuPont, and 3M to name a few), and no wonder the S&P 500 has declined 4% from its highs. In fact, it is surprising it hasn more »

Under the Microscope: Cummins Incorporated
By Kyle Campbell - February 4, 2012 | Tickers: CAT, CMI, NAV, UTX
Overview
Cummins Incorporated (NYSE: CMI) was founded in 1919, as Cummins Engine Company, by Clessie Cummins.

Irwin displayed great enthusiasm for the new engine and provided a much-needed cash infusion to the company. In the years after the cash infusion, Cummins went on to more »

Bank of Deere
By David Talley - December 27, 2011 | Tickers: DE, GE
It should be no surprise that John Deere (NYSE: DE) has a financial services division. After all, the machines it produces are quite expensive and many customers require financing. It is an obvious business decision that Deere cut out the bank and offer financing services to their customers. However, it is extremely important to pay attention to the details of financial arms, lest they unknowingly (or knowingly) blow up the more »

The Car That CO2 Built
By Roland Hughes - December 21, 2011 | Tickers: CLC, EXC, GPRE, WM
There has been a lot of talk about CO2 sequestering technology lately.
The obvious solution to factory-produced CO2 isn't trying to bury it, despite what people say. That may be required as temporary storage, but it is not a good option. Eventually it will leak, just like those salt mines will eventually leak, but we put nuclear waste there anyway. (Nuclear, the clean form of energy more »

By DividendYields - December 18, 2011 | Tickers: AGU, INGR, DFS, IR, ANDE
Companies that generate excess cash flows are more likely to maintain and increase their dividends. Not at all, if you look at dividends, you also have look at the dividend growth. If companies have a stable business and solid financials, they can consider an adequate increase in dividend payments.
