REUTERS/Steve Marcus/ File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 31 (Reuters) - Caterpillar (CAT.N) reported a double-digit rise in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, beating Wall Street estimates as strong infrastructure investments across key markets boosted demand for its high-end construction equipment in North America. The world's largest construction equipment maker's order backlog fell $2.6 billion quarter over quarter. Construction equipment demand had been resilient as the United States upgrades its roads, railways and other transportation infrastructure under a $1 trillion package approved by Congress in 2021 under the Biden administration. Machinery, Energy and Transportation equipment profit rose 48% from the year prior. Its profit rose to $2.79 billion, or $5.45 per share, outpacing an analysts' forecast of $4.79.

The Moline, Illinois-based company posted a 60% rise in quarterly profit, yet investors were seemingly unimpressed as shares slumped for the world's largest farm equipment maker. While it easily beat profit expectations, Deere's stock slump is consistent with other cyclical companies that have outperformed estimates. Deere expects 2023 net income between $9.75 billion and $10.00 billion, up from its previous outlook of $9.25 billion to $9.50 billion. Construction and forestry equipment sales increased 14% on solid demand backdrop fueled by U.S. President Joe Biden administration's $1 trillion infrastructure deal. Sales from equipment operations rose about to $14.28 billion compared to $13 billion a year ago.
