Updating based on 1H25 results.
If we forecast out 5 years and assume a 15% CAGR for revenue, in FY29 we will hit revenue of around $200m USD.
CAT have a long term target of 30% profit margins. This is based on "Management EBITDA" which excludes share based payments. I'm going to assume this will translate to around 15% NPAT margin which would give FY29 NPAT of around $30m USD.
Assuming a PE of 30x and and an increase in SOI to around 300m shares gives an FY29 share price of around $4.28 (assuming a USD:AUD exchange rate of around 70c). Discounting this back would give a valuation of around $2.92.
Obviously lots of assumptions here and looking quite a fair way out but just gives a rough estimate into what CAT needs to achieve at around the current share price.
I think if it pulled back to around $2.50 I'd be looking to buy more shares but am already holding quite a full allocation after the current run up.

Original Valuation
Just running some very rough numbers to see what figures I get.
Assuming 10% CAGR revenue growth for the next 5 years:
Assuming Net Margins of around 10%:
SOI of around 300m accounting for some share based payments to employees gives EPS of around $0.067 per share.
Assuming a PE of 25x in FY28 and discounting back 10% per annum gives a share price of around $1.05.
Probably more of a calculation of what assumptions need to be made for the current share price (around $1.00) to give you a decent return.

I've still yet to update my valuation @BoredSaint -- but I would've taken the same approach, and cant find much fault with the assumptions you've used (which are far from aggressive).
I agree with the conclusion, shares perhaps a little north of 'fair', but certainly not silly. I'm not planning on selling anytime soon, but may do a little adjustment if I need to free up some cash for other things.
