A high-profile short on Caterpillar can spur near-term profit-taking and higher short interest, weighing on the stock despite solid fundamentals. CAT’s stretched P/S and 86% YTD gain heighten the risk of a valuation reversion if AI enthusiasm cools; historical parallels include crowded longs reversing as bear bets materialize.
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

He argues CAT’s price-to-sales is near three-decade highs as AI-expectations surge, suggesting a near-term risk of a valuation reset despite CAT's strong year-to-date performance.
