Heavy equipment Resource Industries profit margin measures segment profit as a percentage of total Resource Industries sales.
Caterpillar reported a 14.9% Resource Industries segment profit margin in Q2 2026, compared with 14.5% in Q2 2025.
Similar revenue growth can produce different margin outcomes
Resource Industries sales rose 20% and segment profit rose 23%, but Caterpillar said higher-volume benefits were partly offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs. That makes the margin useful for seeing how much incremental demand actually reached segment earnings.
Pair it with Resource Industries total sales and Resource Industries segment profit. Comparing it with Construction Industries profit margin helps separate mix from consolidated machinery performance.
