Jim Cramer on Caterpillar: "A Total Straight Shooter"

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) is one of the stocks in focus this week under Jim Cramer’s game plan. Cramer finished his gameplan with the stock, as he commented:

Now also on Thursday, very exciting, Caterpillar’s part of a fireside chat at CONEXPO. That’s that annual construction trade show that you and I probably don’t go to, but sounds like a real hoot. There’s CEO, Joe Creed, a total straight shooter, might talk about how people are using Caterpillar generators to power data centers. All very exciting. I kick myself daily for not getting into that one, and I don’t know if they’ll let me out from my job here to go attend CONEXPO. Maybe next year.

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) provides heavy machinery, engines, turbines, and rail equipment. In addition, the company offers power systems, parts, and support that keep the equipment working. During the February 24 episode, Cramer mentioned the company and said:

What else do we need so badly that we’ll pay anything for? Well, how about Caterpillar? We like their stuff. Turbines, GE Vernova. Hey, how about things that move other things? FedEx is good, any trucker. How about value-oriented companies like Walmart, Dollar General, Costco, Dollar Tree, TJX, they report tomorrow. All those companies make things and sell them cheaper than the other guys. You know what? Johnson& Johnson’s good, Colgate, Procter & Gamble, Hershey.
