Veteran Investor Bought More Caterpillar (CAT) Stock on Weakness

Veteran Investor Bought More Caterpillar (CAT) Stock on Weakness
SHARE

Kevin Simpson, the founder and CEO of Capital Wealth Planning, recently made a strategic move by purchasing more Caterpillar (CAT) stock when it experienced a dip in price. In an interview with CNBC last week, Simpson expressed his optimism about the company’s future prospects, particularly citing the upcoming leadership change at Caterpillar.

On April 15, Caterpillar announced that its Chief Operating Officer, Joseph Creed, would be taking over as the new CEO, effective May 1. With 28 years of experience at the company, Creed is seen as being well-equipped to lead Caterpillar into its next phase of growth. D. James Umpleby III, the current CEO, will transition to the role of Executive Chairman within the organization.

Simpson believes that Creed’s leadership will be instrumental in driving Caterpillar’s long-term success. However, he cautions that CAT stock may not experience rapid gains in the short term but is more likely to see gradual growth over time. This makes it a suitable investment for investors with a longer time horizon.

In a separate development, Morgan Stanley upgraded its rating on CAT stock from Sell to Equal Weight last week, citing valuation as a key factor. The investment bank noted that CAT stock had declined by nearly 30% between mid-October and the date of the upgrade. Despite the downgrade, Morgan Stanley remains optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects and positive catalysts.

As part of the upgrade, Morgan Stanley adjusted its price target for CAT stock to $283 from $300. While acknowledging the potential of Caterpillar, the investment bank emphasized its belief in the promising returns offered by artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. In a comparison, Morgan Stanley highlighted an AI stock that has shown positive growth since the beginning of 2025, outperforming popular AI stocks that experienced a decline of around 25%.

For investors seeking opportunities in the AI sector, Morgan Stanley recommended exploring a report on the “cheapest AI stock” that is trading at less than 5 times its earnings. This stock is positioned to deliver higher returns within a shorter timeframe compared to CAT.

In conclusion, the strategic moves by Kevin Simpson and Morgan Stanley reflect a positive outlook on Caterpillar’s future performance. While CAT stock may offer long-term growth potential, investors are encouraged to explore promising opportunities in the AI sector for potentially higher returns.
