What Is Caterpillar?
Yellow iron, hot blood.
Caterpillar is the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, a century-old American industrial whose yellow machines are shorthand for the physical economy and whose engines and turbines have found a second life powering data centres. Heavy machinery is supposed to attract patient money. What it has attracted, on our data, is one of the least fearful crowds on the entire stock board.
The CFGI read: Caterpillar's crowd averaged 62 out of 100 across 273 trading days from 23 June 2025 to 24 July 2026, closed 170 of those days in Greed or better, 46 of them in Extreme Greed, and rarely went near Extreme Fear. Only five of the stocks we rank carry a less fearful average. The conviction started on day one: the window opened with 31 consecutive closes in Greed or better, from 23 June to 5 August 2025, the crowd's longest run of the year.
Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
The price justified most of it. Caterpillar rose 142.2% across the window, from $366.23 on 23 June 2025, which still stands as the low, to $886.91 at the close, touching $1,064.90 on 30 June 2026. Sentiment peaked at 87, Extreme Greed, on 16 October 2025 with the shares at $540.96, roughly halfway up the mountain, and added a five-day Extreme Greed run from 9 to 13 February 2026.
The interesting prints are the doubts. The crowd's most fearful day of the entire window, 24 out of 100, arrived late, on 16 July 2026 at $874.37, a price more than double where the year began, and only 79 of the stocks we track were in Fear or worse with it. A 37-point drop on 4 November 2025 and a 36-point jump on 30 April 2026 mark its sharpest swings. The window ends at 54, Neutral, mild by this crowd's standards, and the overall market Fear and Greed Index will show quickly whether that counts as rest or as a change of heart.

Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index FAQ
What is the Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index today?
The Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index today is 71/100 on the daily view, showing Greed. It summarizes live Caterpillar market sentiment on a 0 to 100 scale.

CFGI combines price action, impulse, volatility, volume, technicals, social sentiment, dominance, search interest, whale activity and order book pressure into one Caterpillar fear and greed reading.
What is a good Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index reading?
There is no single good reading, because the index measures mood rather than value. Extreme Fear below 25 marks the points where sentiment is most washed out, and Extreme Greed above 75 the points carrying the most risk, so what counts as good depends on whether you are buying or selling.

It measures the emotional state of the Caterpillar market on a 0 to 100 scale, from extreme fear at 0 to extreme greed at 100. CFGI builds that number from ten indicators including price action, volatility, volume, momentum, technicals and social sentiment, rather than from price alone.
How do I use the Caterpillar Fear and Greed Index?
Most people use it to size risk rather than to time entries. The extreme readings are the useful ones: they flag when the crowd has become one-sided, which is when caution costs least and greed costs most. Read it alongside price and volume, never on its own.
