Caterpillar Reports Record Sales and Earnings Despite Profit Decline
Caterpillar Inc. announced on January 29, 2026, its financial results for Q4 2025 showing record sales of $19.1 billion, up 18% year-over-year, and full-year sales of $67.6 billion, up 4%. Despite these record sales, the company reported a profit per share for Q4 2025 of $5.12, down from $5.78 in Q4 2024, and full-year profit per share of $18.81, down from $22.05 in 2024.
