Caterpillar tanks after company cuts guidance, citing tariffs and lower demand in China

plunged after the company posted disappointing second-quarter results as higher material costs including tariffs and lower demand in China made a dent in its profit.

The heavy machinery manufacturer also lowered full-year earnings guidance to be at the lower end of previous range of $12.06 to $13.06, short of the estimate of $12.24 per share. The worse-than-expected results are partially due to the increase in manufacturing costs, which came from "higher material costs, including tariffs, variable labor and burden and warranty expense," the company said.
