Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) closed at $800.12 on August 29, 2026, a decline of 2.07% over the prior 24 hours. The move extended a broader pullback for the industrial heavyweight, which has now shed 3.36% over the past seven days.
Despite the recent pressure, the stock's 30-day loss stands at a comparatively contained 0.61%, suggesting the near-term weakness has not significantly eroded the machinery maker's performance over the longer window. Caterpillar's market capitalization stood at $375.55 billion as of the close.
Caterpillar is among the largest industrial companies by market value and is closely watched as a bellwether for construction and mining equipment demand worldwide. Friday's session added to a string of losses without an accompanying single-session recovery.
The stock's performance across the three timeframes — a steeper weekly drop against a shallower monthly decline — indicates that selling pressure has intensified in the most recent days of trading relative to the broader 30-day period.
