Why This Matters
This stock appears overvalued relative to its growth and dividend yield. Strong projected growth of 48.5% annually over 5 years. Pays a 0.7% dividend yield.
CAT trades at 43.1x earnings against 25.0% capped growth (actual 48.5%) + 0.7% yield (PEGY 1.68). The valuation appears stretched relative to the available growth and income.
