1 Up

CAT was down about 1.67% while key peers in its machinery group showed generally negative moves (e.g., DE about -1.75%, CNH about -2.05%). The momentum scanner separately flagged DE with a 6.1% upside move, indicating mixed, stock-specific activity among peers rather than a broad sector rotation tied to this conference appearance news.

Common Catalyst Deere reported quarterly earnings, but peer news flow was otherwise limited and not clearly tied to Caterpillar’s CONEXPO fireside chat announcement.
