Caterpillar (CAT) Form 4 – CFO Andrew R. J. Bonfield

On 07/17/2025 the CFO exercised two tranches of employee stock options, acquiring a total of 37,497 shares (14,186 at $196.70, exp. 03/07/2032; 23,311 at $253.98, exp. 03/06/2033). Simultaneously, he effected two F-code transactions—typically tax-related sales—disposing of 27,479 shares at $416.39 per share.

Post-transaction direct ownership stands at 65,422 CAT shares. One 2022 option grant is now fully exercised (zero remaining), while 11,655 options from the 2023 grant remain outstanding.

The filing results in a net increase of roughly 10,000 shares to the CFO’s direct stake, indicating ongoing alignment with shareholders, although the concurrent sales partially monetize gains at an all-time-high price level. Activity appears routine and does not alter control or capital structure.

2025년 7월 17일, CFO는 두 차례에 걸쳐 직원 스톡옵션을 행사하여 총 37,497주를 취득했습니다(14,186주를 196.70달러에, 만기 2032년 3월 7일; 23,311주를 253.98달러에, 만기 2033년 3월 6일). 동시에, 일반적으로 세금 관련 매도인 F코드 거래 두 건을 진행하여 27,479주를 주당 416.39달러에 처분했습니다.

Simultanément, il a réalisé deux transactions de code F – généralement des ventes liées à la fiscalité – cédant 27 479 actions au prix de 416,39 $ par action.

La détention directe après transaction s’élève à 65 422 actions CAT. Une attribution d’options de 2022 est désormais entièrement exercée (aucune restante), tandis que 11 655 options de l’attribution 2023 restent en circulation.

Le dépôt entraîne une augmentation nette d’environ 10 000 actions dans la participation directe du CFO, témoignant d’un alignement continu avec les actionnaires, bien que les ventes simultanées monétisent partiellement les gains à un niveau de prix record. L’activité semble routinière et ne modifie ni le contrôle ni la structure du capital.

Caterpillar (CAT) Formular 4 – CFO Andrew R. J. Bonfield

Am 17.07.2025 übte der CFO zwei Tranchen von Mitarbeiteraktienoptionen aus und erwarb insgesamt 37.497 Aktien (14.186 zu 196,70$, Laufzeit 07.03.2032; 23.311 zu 253,98$, Laufzeit 06.03.2033). Gleichzeitig tätigte er zwei F-Code-Transaktionen – typischerweise steuerlich bedingte Verkäufe – und veräußerte 27.479 Aktien zu je 416,39$.

Der direkte Aktienbesitz nach der Transaktion beträgt 65.422 CAT-Aktien. Eine Optionszuteilung von 2022 ist nun vollständig ausgeübt (keine Restoptionen), während von der Zuteilung 2023 noch 11.655 Optionen ausstehen.

Die Meldung führt zu einem Nettozuwachs von etwa 10.000 Aktien im direkten Anteil des CFO, was eine fortlaufende Ausrichtung mit den Aktionären signalisiert, obwohl die gleichzeitigen Verkäufe Gewinne auf einem Allzeithoch teilweise realisieren. Die Aktivität erscheint routinemäßig und ändert weder die Kontrolle noch die Kapitalstruktur.

Positive
  • Net increase of ~10,000 shares to CFO’s direct ownership, indicating continued alignment with shareholders.
  • Full exercise of 2022 option grant eliminates overhang and shows confidence in long-term value.
Negative
  • Disposition of 27,479 shares at record highs may be viewed as profit-taking.
  • Remaining unexercised options (11,655 shares) still represent potential future dilution.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine option exercise; modest net share increase; limited signalling value.

The CFO converted deep-in-the-money options worth ~$12–15 m and sold 27.5 k shares, retaining 65 k shares and 11.7 k options. Net purchase of ~10 k shares is small versus his total exposure and CAT’s 512 m shares O/S, so market impact should be negligible. The mixed buy/sell pattern is typical for tax and liquidity management. No change to corporate outlook, leverage or guidance; therefore I classify the event as neutral for valuation.

TL;DR: Insider activity neutral-to-slightly negative; sale magnitude overshadows net add.

While Bonfield’s net position rises, the headline sale of 27 k shares at $416 could be interpreted as profit-taking near highs, possibly dampening short-term sentiment. Still, his remaining stake (~$27 m) keeps him meaningfully aligned. Given CAT’s daily volume (~3 m shares), trade size is immaterial. I regard the disclosure as non-impactful for portfolio weighting decisions.
