In addition, he has multiple employee stock option grants covering tens of thousands of underlying shares with exercise prices ranging from $127.60 to $752.18 and expirations between 2030 and 2036, granted under the company’s long‑term incentive plans.
Caterpillar Inc. is soliciting proxies for its 2026 Annual Meeting, to be held virtually on June 10, 2026, covering director elections, auditor ratification, an advisory vote on executive pay and a shareholder proposal on written consent rights. The board recommends voting for ten director nominees, for PricewaterhouseCoopers as independent auditor, for executive compensation and against the written-consent proposal. The proxy highlights strong 2025 performance, including record sales and revenues of $67.6 billion, operating profit of $11.2 billion and profit per share of $18.81. Adjusted operating profit margin was 17.2%, MP&E free cash flow reached $9.5 billion and $7.9 billion was returned to shareholders via repurchases and dividends, while backlog rose to a record $51 billion, up 71% year over year.
Caterpillar Inc. reported a strong first quarter 2026 with sales and revenues of $17.4 billion, up 22% from $14.2 billion a year earlier. Growth was driven mainly by $2.3 billion in higher sales volume and $426 million of favorable pricing across all three primary segments.
Profit per share rose to $5.47 from $4.20, with adjusted profit per share increasing to $5.54 from $4.25. Operating profit reached $3.085 billion, up 20%, though the operating margin edged down to 17.7% from 18.1% as higher tariff-driven manufacturing costs and higher compensation offset some of the volume and price benefits.
Construction Industries sales climbed 38% to $7.161 billion and segment profit increased 50% to $1.535 billion, while Power & Energy sales grew 22% to $7.031 billion and profit rose 13% to $1.450 billion. Resource Industries sales increased 4% to $3.797 billion, but segment profit fell 39% to $378 million due to higher manufacturing costs.
