Crane Company (CR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Crane Company (CR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Crane's diversified industrial operations, bolstered by its successful cryogenic and power businesses, contributed to a revenue generation of approximately $2.3 billion in 2025. The company experienced notable growth in core orders, with an organic backlog increase of 16%, indicating strong demand and a solid pipeline of work. Furthermore, Crane's technology-driven advancements and strategic business acquisitions, coupled with ongoing reshoring efforts in key industries, position it favorably for sustainable long-term growth.
Bears say
Crane Company's total backlog increased to $1.44 billion, reflecting a 17% year-over-year growth, yet a 2% decline in the process flow technologies (PFT) segment indicates underlying weakness, particularly in the chemical business. In the fourth quarter of 2025, organic sales in the PFT segment faced a decline, driven by sluggish demand in chemical projects in Europe and Asia, which negatively impacted overall revenue expectations. Furthermore, the company's raised earnings guidance slightly falls short of analyst projections, highlighting potential challenges ahead, particularly with a weakened demand environment and anticipated volume decreases in the PFT segment.
