Caterpillar's Solid Liquidity Expected to Support Dividend
April 29, 2020
Caterpillar (CAT) reported earnings on Tuesday, and the coronavirus pandemic's impact was already evident in its results; sales fell 21% and profits tumbled 39%.
Management said that the impact of COVID-19 on Caterpillar's business "has been significantly more severe and chaotic than any cyclical downturn we had envisioned."
But this isn't Caterpillar's first rodeo, and the company enters this downturn with the financial and operational strength necessary to continue supporting its dividend:
Zitat:"We continue to expect our strong financial position to support the dividend. As a reminder, Caterpillar has paid a quarterly dividend every year since 1933 through a variety of challenging business conditions. We remain committed to returning substantially all our free cash flow to shareholders through the cycles." – CEO Jim Umpleby
.....
Overall, Caterpillar's business appears well positioned heading into this unprecedented downturn.
Depending on the severity and duration of these unusual circumstances, management may not meet their guidance for high-single digit annual dividend growth through 2023. However, we expect the dividend to remain safe.

Wobei man auf Aussagen des CEOs/Management nicht sooo viel geben sollte, hat doch im Januar der Shell CEO noch exakt das Gegenteil von dem gesagt (mit stolzem Bezug auf Historie - WW II usw. ), was nun Fakt ist.
