Caterpillar Stock Slumps on Valuation Concerns Amid Strong Earnings

Caterpillar stock fell by around 4.2 percent to USD 784.00 on September 14, 2026, amid concerns over valuation versus fundamentals.

The decline drew attention to the stock's premium compared to its intrinsic value estimate, which stood at USD 459.42 according to GuruFocus.

This gap highlights a perceived overvaluation issue, with the GF Value model suggesting that the market price is roughly 41.4 percent higher than the company's intrinsic worth.

The recent pullback was also weighed down by concerns around data center capital expenditure and broader macro volatility, which affected heavy industrial names.
