  Earnings
  Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT  ) announced disappointing, though not entirely unexpected, earnings this morning. Largely due to a slowdown in demand of heavy machinery from mining customers, the company had a 17% drop in sales for the first quarter. The decline in sales resulted in profits that were nearly half those of the year-ago quarter -- $880 million versus 2012's $1.59 billion. Caterpillar revised its 2013 outlook to the lower end of its previous guidance, $7 per share on sales of $57 billion to $61 billion, with CEO Doug Oberhelman stating that the revision represents a 50% cut in sales due to the decline in mining customer demand. The company will begin a share buyback program that it shelved for five years, with up to $3.7 billion in shares on the table before the end of 2015.

  Two industrial powerhouses on the Dow delivered earnings today. First, Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT  ) shares finished down 2.4% after missing estimates as many had expected. The slowdown in Chinese construction has hurt demand for materials and thus mining equipment, a key component of Caterpillar's business. The world's largest maker of earth-moving equipment said profits fell 43% as EPS came in at $1.45, down from $2.54 a year ago, and worse than estimates at $1.69. Revenue dropped 15.8% to $14.6 billion, below expectations of $15.1 billion. Management promised cost-cutting to cope with the decrease in demand, and cut its full-year EPS outlook from $7 to $6.50.

  Today�� big gainer among the Dow 30 stocks was Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT). Shares were trading up 1.29% at $96.19 in a 52-week range of $79.49 to $97.50 shortly before the closing bell. Smaller rival Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE) posted better than expected results this morning and that is likely the cause for Cat�� rising stock price. Volume today was about equal to the daily average of around 5.8 million shares.

  Other stocks that are getting hammered by the Chinese report include Alcoa (NYSE: AA  ) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT  ) . Both companies need strong construction markets, which China had been for years. Now that it seems the go-go days are coming to an end, each company will be faced with finding a new emerging market in which to sell its products.

Advisors' Opinion:

  Last year, CARBO made almost half of its total revenue from just two customers: Halliburton (NYSE: HAL  ) and Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB  ) . A dependence on major players can be part of the game in this energy niche, as much of the onshore drilling services industry is in fact dominated by Halliburton and Schlumberger. However, CARBO's deepwater proppant could help it diversify in a big way, provided the company can handle what are sure to be more bothersome logistics problems than already exist with its land-based delivery network. Creating more distribution hubs closer to oil fields can help CARBO reduce its transportation costs and further reduce its dependence on the big two's infrastructure.
