Caterpillar (ISIN US1491231015) was trading at EUR 657.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. CEST. The machinery maker has set October 29, 2026, for its third-quarter results, giving investors a fresh date for testing demand, backlog conversion and margin pressure.

Caterpillar said on October 15, 2026, that it will release third-quarter results at 5:30 a.m. CDT and begin its earnings webcast at 7:30 a.m. CDT. The release will also be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Second-quarter growth sets the bar

Caterpillar entered the reporting date with second-quarter sales and revenues of USD 20.54 billion, up 24.00 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Yahoo Finance reported that adjusted profit per share reached USD 8.17, compared with GAAP profit per share of USD 7.77, while adjusted operating profit margin was 21.90 percent.

The same call put the backlog at USD 72.00 billion after a USD 9.00 billion sequential increase. Management said 59.00 percent of that backlog was expected to be delivered within the following 12 months, making execution and production capacity central metrics for the October report.

What does the backlog mean for margins?

The answer depends on whether volume growth continues to offset tariffs and investment costs. Management raised its full-year 2026 sales and revenues outlook to mid-to-high-teens growth, while excluding tariff recoveries it expected the adjusted operating profit margin near the bottom of its target range.

Analyst sentiment has become more selective. On October 14, 2026, Investing.com reported that Bernstein cut its Caterpillar target from USD 1,002 to USD 749 while keeping a Market Perform rating. The firm cited a possible slowdown in bookings momentum despite record revenue visibility.

Two October dates matter

Caterpillar will publish the third-quarter report on October 29, 2026, at 5:30 a.m. CDT, followed by the earnings webcast at 7:30 a.m. CDT. Those dates give investors two checkpoints for the same question: whether strong demand is translating into profitable deliveries.
