🟡 Fair value zone · current yield 0.79%

The Geraldine Weiss dividend yield theory applied to Caterpillar Inc ($CAT) uses the stock's historical dividend yield range to estimate when the price is cheap or expensive relative to its own dividend-paying history (2016–2026). Based on that history, $CAT is currently trading close to its fair value.

When the $CAT yield climbs above 🟢 4.3%, the stock has historically been undervalued. When the yield falls below 🔴 0.57%, Caterpillar Inc has historically been overvalued. The dashed 🟡 fair value (~2.44%) line marks the orientative midpoint between both extremes, not a price target.
