It has earlier been expected that there would be stabilization in key commodity categories, with the Resources business driving potential upside over the forthcoming quarters, “quarters driven by aftermarket and potential for replacement demand green shoots.”
However, since May, the macro volatility in China has had a negative impact on commodities, “as questions surrounding demand added to excess supply concerns,” the Baird report said, while adding that “peer OEM commentary and results are suggesting that fundamentals can actually get worse rather than better in the near term.”
Given that mining has been deteriorating, oil & gas has remained under pressure and demand for construction equipment has been weakening across the globe, bookings appear unlikely to rebound in the near term.
However, Dobre added that Caterpillar might rally back, given that China continues to be a major unknown, stabilization could help lift global cyclicals, and there could be upside if there is better than expected SOLAR and a multi-year U.S. Highway Bill is passed.
The EPS estimates for 2015 and 2016 have been lowered.
