  • UBS analyst Steven Fisher upgraded Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) to Buy from Neutral and raised the price target to $235 (an upside of 15%) from $232. 
  • Fisher thinks sentiment on the shares will improve as margins inflect and surprise to the upside during this upcycle. All three of Caterpillar's segments will grow over the next 2-3 years, and falling input costs and the removal of headwinds will create a "strong margin tailwind" for the company during the upcycle, leading to outsized margin performance.
  • He thinks "the coming inflection" is not being appropriately recognized by investors.
