November Dogs Of The Dow: No Buys, Yet 5 Are Worth Watching

Dow Dogs remain pricey with thin dividends, but 21 of 30 are ‘safer' due to robust free cash flow supporting payouts. Analyst targets project 16.96% to 60.26% net gains for top-ten Dow Dogs by November 2027, though risks and volatility are elevated. None of the top ten Dow Dogs currently meet the ideal dividend-to-price ratio; only Nike achieves 'IDEAL' status but with negative returns and a weak safety margin.

Caterpillar: Down 30% Since My Sell Rating - Upgrading To Hold, But Demand More Safety

Caterpillar delivered strong Q3 2026 operational results, but shares dropped 29% since prior coverage due to valuation concerns and extended backlog conversion timelines. CAT's $78 billion backlog, driven by AI infrastructure demand, now stretches into 2029–2030, supporting robust revenue and margin expansion expectations. Consensus sees revenue growing 17.8% in FY2026 and 10.8% in FY2027, with EPS outpacing sales as scale boosts margins toward 21–25% at $100 billion revenue.
