beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter profit on Tuesday, as higher prices on its larger excavators and other construction equipment countered moderating demand in North America.

Caterpillar has reaped the benefits from President Joe Biden’s 2021 infrastructure law, a $1-trillion enactment aimed at upgrading roads, bridges and other transport infrastructure.
