Caterpillar Stock Drops Amid Dealer Acquisition Plans
Caterpillar's stock price dropped to EUR 727.80 on September 30, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. CEST, a decrease of 0.25 percent from its prior close of EUR 729.60.
The company is in the process of acquiring John Fabick Tractor, a long-standing Cat dealer, which was announced on September 29, 2026. The deal will strengthen Caterpillar's direct connection to customers in Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula through a dealer with over 100 years of service history.
The acquisition is operational rather than financial, as the purchase price has not been disclosed. This strategic move is part of Caterpillar's efforts to expand its presence in key markets.
