IRVING, Texas, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) has acquired John Fabick Tractor Company (Fabick), a long-standing Cat® dealer with more than 100 years of trusted service and customer relationships across portions of Missouri, Illinois, the entire state of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Caterpillar entered into an agreement to acquire Fabick in September.

Caterpillar (CAT) shares opened notably lower on Thursday even though the industrial equipment giant reported better-than-expected earnings for its fiscal Q3. Investors wanted more confidence that Caterpillar Inc could sustain its recent growth, particularly from supplying power equipment for data centers.

Caterpillar's data center business is fine, but other areas disappointed and the stock was heading for its biggest loss in years.

Caterpillar said sales climbed in the latest quarter, though the increase failed to clear Wall Street's high expectations.

Caterpillar reported ​a higher third-quarter profit on ‌Thursday, helped by strong demand for its backup power equipment, turbines and ​construction equipment.
