$CAT is an interesting AI-adjacent play.
It’s not an AI company, but that’s exactly why I think it’s worth watching. The AI buildout still needs a massive amount of physical infrastructure, construction, power, and equipment.
That’s where companies like Caterpillar can benefit without having to build an AI model themselves.
$CAT is already +43.21% YTD, and it also pays a dividend, which gives the story another angle beyond pure growth.
I’m not saying the stock is automatically a buy after that move. Valuation and the economic cycle still matter.
But I like looking for the second-order beneficiaries of major trends, not just the obvious names everyone already knows.
Save this one and revisit it when the market gives us the next signal.
