(Reuters) – Heavy equipment maker Caterpillar Inc on Thursday reported a rise in adjusted first-quarter profit, as equipment demand picked up after a pandemic-led slump last year.
The company reported an adjusted profit of $2.87 per share in the quarter ended March 31, compared with $1.65 per share a year earlier.
