Price Action, Today’s Headlines, Analyst Forecasts, and What to Know Before Friday’s Open
Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) ended Thursday’s session on a steady note and barely moved after the closing bell—an important detail for investors watching whether this week’s sharp volatility is stabilizing heading into Friday, December 19.
As of 5:28 p.m. ET, CAT traded at $566.22 in after-hours, up $0.39 (+0.07%) from the regular-session close. The stock closed at $565.83, up $3.94 (+0.70%) on the day. [1]
