CAT — Caterpillar Inc.

Last scan (Sept. 18, 2026): price $798.57, RSI 44.62, relative volume 1.02x, MACD ⚪ No, score 54.46.

It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), and an RSI of 44.62 suggests it isn't overbought yet — there's room before the momentum runs out. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. The analysts' average target price implies a modest +22.2% upside. Today it holds rank #15 in the Monster group on Smart Scanner's upside + relative volume ranking.
