Caterpillar stock jumps after biggest earnings beat in five years

The company pointed to data-center construction demand as a driver behind record revenue, following an earnings beat that outpaced its recent performance over the past five years.

Caterpillar shares surged after the company delivered what MarketWatch described as its biggest earnings beat in five years.

The outlet said data-center construction demand helped lift results, supporting record revenue.

MarketWatch attributed the strength in part to ongoing momentum in building out data-center capacity, which boosted Caterpillar’s top-line performance.
