For every $100 of reported revenue
2026-01-01–2026-06-30 · ratios from the same reported period
Profit includes accounting items that may not involve cash today. Operating cash flow measures cash from operations; capital spending covers the reported investment measure. These ratios help compare scale, but industry, seasonality and one-time items still matter. They are not a breakdown that adds to $100.
Revenue by business group
Consolidated sales and revenues include Financial Products revenue. Equipment demand and financing activity have different cash-flow characteristics. Segment shares are calculated from consolidated revenue for the same period.

Company Health Score
Expand for the score breakdown and outlookSolid overall health
Our assessment of the reported financial position and the company-specific outlook.
Higher means stronger overall financial health under this model. This is World Numbers’ subjective assessment, not an official rating or a prediction of the stock price. It does not establish that shares are good value.
$6.71B cash and equivalents against $83.22B total liabilities. This excludes marketable investments.
24.0% change in latest-quarter revenue from the comparable year-earlier quarter.
16.2% net margin for the reported 181-day period. One-time gains or charges can affect this measure.
$4.93B operating cash flow after cash capital spending for the same reported period. This is a calculation, not all investing or financing activity.
Infrastructure and power demand can support orders; dealer inventories, commodity cycles, customer financing and manufacturing costs influence results.
Looking ahead
Infrastructure and power demand can support orders; dealer inventories, commodity cycles, customer financing and manufacturing costs influence results. This is a speculative editorial interpretation of the filing’s business and risk discussion, not quantified issuer guidance.
How we arrived at the score
Cash scores use cash ÷ liabilities: at least 0.5 scores 9, 0.25 scores 8, 0.1 scores 6; otherwise 4. Revenue growth scores: at least 30% scores 9, 10% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Net margin scores: at least 20% scores 9, 10% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Cash after investment ÷ revenue scores: at least 15% scores 9, 5% scores 8, non-negative scores 6; otherwise 3. Future outlook is an editorial score. The weighted result is 6.55, rounded to 7. These thresholds and weights are judgment choices, not statistically validated probabilities. The assessment uses data through 2026-06-30; it does not update each second.

Joseph E. Creed
Chief executive officer
Leadership is checked separately from annual compensation. The historical pay table below may cover different roles or former executives.
Leadership check and financial reporting dates are separate. Annual total compensation is updated when a new compensation disclosure is published; quarterly earnings do not necessarily include it.
Reported executive pay
Three executives from the dated compensation disclosure. Names, roles and pay below describe that disclosure and do not establish who leads the company today.
Why use this pay period? The latest reviewed proxy reports fiscal 2025 annual compensation. A filing published in 2026 can describe the preceding completed pay year. These counters illustrate reported annual pay; they do not measure current payroll.

Employees
The annual report employee count and proxy compensation population can differ in measurement date and inclusion of temporary or part-time staff. Caterpillar annualizes its partial-year CEO compensation for the official ratio; this page uses the actual Summary Compensation Table total. Employee counts are reported snapshots and do not tick. Companies use different employee populations and pay-ratio methods, so comparisons need care.

How World Numbers calculates estimatesHow the estimates work
We divide each reported flow by its actual 181-day reporting period. The daily rate is spread evenly over elapsed UTC time and resets at midnight. Refreshing the page does not restart the counter. The next-calendar-quarter illustration holds that pace unchanged; it is not live sales or a company forecast. Annual executive pay is spread across the current calendar year, including leap-year day counts. Stock awards, balances, employees and shares are not current payroll or live counts. Company-specific limitations: Consolidated sales and revenues include Financial Products revenue. Equipment demand and financing activity have different cash-flow characteristics.
