Caterpillar said it was progressing with capacity expansion plans and expected to increase throughput in the second half of 2026. Higher sales volume and demand across Power & Energy, Construction Industries and Resource Industries were accompanied by unfavorable manufacturing costs. In the second quarter, unfavorable manufacturing costs were $149 million in Power & Energy and $158 million in Resource Industries, primarily reflecting increased period manufacturing costs. For the six-month period, Resource Industries manufacturing costs were pressured by higher tariff costs, while the company continued working to minimize supply-chain challenges affecting its ability to meet customer demand.
