Crane Company (CR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Crane Company (CR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Crane's diversified industrial operations have contributed to a robust financial outlook, with a reported revenue of approximately $2.1 billion in 2024 and a notable year-over-year organic sales increase of 5.6%. The aerospace segment is experiencing strong demand driven by Boeing's production ramp-up and solid defense procurement spending, supporting an organic backlog growth of 16% and total backlog reaching $1.44 billion. Additionally, expectations for 2025 indicate organic sales growth of high-single to low-double digits, underpinned by a strong operating model that fosters above-market growth and strong incremental margins.
Bears say
Crane's quarter-end backlog of $1.44 billion, while reflecting a 17% year-over-year increase, also showed a 1% sequential decline, indicating potential weakness in future order flows, particularly within the process flow technologies segment, which experienced a 2% year-over-year decrease. The company's forecast for 2025 organic sales is constrained to the lower end of the low-to-mid-single digit growth range, compounded by anticipated declines in volume for the process flow technologies segment, driven by inflation and pricing pressures. Furthermore, raw material cost inflation and uncertainties in Boeing's production ramp-up pose significant risks to profitability and overall operational performance.
