CAT EPS Earnings Projections

As is the case with all companies that in the heavy machinery sector, Caterpillar’s earnings are set to take a hit due to the hysterical reaction from the masses and governments. This crisis could have been handled in a much better manner but it was not. Fear was given free rein and the end result was total chaos. However, there is an order in chaos for those that are willing to look at the situation from a different angle. Every disaster creates a new opportunity and this massive sell-off has created a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy top-notch companies at huge discounts. In fact, some stocks are virtually being given away when inflation is factored into the equation. EPS is however projected to stabilize and trend upwards towards the beginning of 2021

CAT Stock Price Projections

CAT is trading in the extremely oversold ranges on the monthly charts, so from a technical analysis perspective, this stock makes for a good long term investment. If we combine this with the fact, the masses have dumped this stock as if the world is going to end tomorrow, then from a psychological perspective, we have another bullish signal. When one combines the two, there is a compelling reason to at least establish a small position at current prices. If CAT can close above 120 on a monthly basis, it should be able to test the 141 to 147 ranges with an overshoot to as high as 155. The stock has the potential to be trading north of 210 12 months from today. Hence investors should use sharp pullbacks to add to their positions.

In some ways, today’s stock market is like MUSK; the guy is erratic and TSLA’s erratic stock price action clearly validates this point. He was caught smoking weed on camera, and he called Vernon Unsworth a “pedo guy”; in 2018 he stated he wanted to take Tesla private and was sued by the SEC for securities fraud. Last but not least, Tesla is still losing money selling cars. Hence, the logical conclusion would be that one should short the stock, and if you did that, you would have lost your shirt, pants and your knickers.

In 2020, bears lost north of $8 billion as a result of their shorts. The recent parabolic spike in Tesla’s stocks price was due to a massive short squeeze. On the same token, this market should have crashed long ago, and those that bet against it have paid dearly. The moral of the story is simple; when it comes to the market, the focus should be on the psychological state of the masses and not on logic. In Tesla’s case, if one applied Mass Psychology, one would have noticed that the stock has a cult-like following and secondly, the bad news was not having a massive impact on the price of the stock. Sure the stock let out a large dose of steam, but that is natural for a stock that has been on a tear Trading The Markets & Investor Sentiment
