This Monday is super-positive for stock traders. Even large companies are going higher and higher, oil-related stocks are going up. But here I want to share my thoughts on Caterpillar. The beleaguered manufacturing sector got some good news this week, as new orders for U.S. factory goods increased by the largest amount in seven months in January, rebounding 1.6% after a 2.9% drop in December. Looking at the broader economy, employers added 242,000 workers in February, a bigger-than-expected increase. Caterpillar today isn't following the common uptrend, the stock has a real upside itself. The most important fact for me is that CAT has a secure dividend yield. They pay $0.77 each quarter which means that their dividend yield is around 4.5%. That's a lot better than their competitors have. Their revenue outlook isn't as high as it could be, I still trust their management. They manage their expenses and margins very efficiently. Their fourth quarter decline in gross margin is usual and if you take a look at gross margin dynamics since 2012 you'll see that their current margin isn't something special.
