Caterpillar Inc. posted strong second-quarter results on June 18, 2025, buoyed by rising global infrastructure investment and demand for heavy machinery. The construction equipment manufacturer reported revenues of $16.4 billion, a 12% increase compared to the same period last year.
Government spending on infrastructure, transportation, and energy projects in Asia, North America, and Europe boosted demand for Caterpillar’s excavators, loaders, and power systems. Mining and agricultural sectors also contributed to revenue growth amid rising commodity prices.
CEO Jim Umpleby underscored Caterpillar’s focus on technology and sustainability. “We are delivering reliable, efficient, and increasingly low-emission equipment to support our customers in building the world’s infrastructure,” Umpleby said.
The company continued to expand its digital services portfolio, including telematics and remote equipment management, which help customers improve productivity and reduce downtime.
Caterpillar has accelerated development of electric and autonomous equipment, positioning itself to meet evolving customer and regulatory demands.
Supply chain improvements helped the company mitigate cost pressures and maintain strong operating margins.
Shares gained 3.9% on the New York Stock Exchange after the earnings report.
Looking ahead, Caterpillar plans to increase investment in R&D focused on green technologies and expand after-sales service networks globally to support long-term growth.
