    With a strong dealer network and economies of scale as the largest global construction and mining equipment manufacturer, Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) has carved a wide economic moat, in our opinion. Following the company’s fourth-quarter results, we plan to maintain our $94 per share fair value estimate. The firm continued to see sharply declining mining markets, but increasing Construction and Power Systems revenue. While these gains weren’t enough to prevent total revenue from falling (down 11% in the quarter), the firm drove solid operating margins in both Construction and Power Systems, helping increase consolidated machinery profitability from a year ago.
