Crane Company (CR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Crane Company (CR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Crane's diversified industrial operations have shown significant revenue growth, generating approximately $2.3 billion in 2025, primarily driven by strong demand in its cryogenic and power sectors. The company's core orders increased nearly 2% year-over-year, with a notable organic backlog growth of 16%, reflecting strong market positions in aerospace and advanced technologies. Moreover, Crane continues to capitalize on strategic opportunities in high-demand areas such as pharmaceuticals and defense systems, further solidifying its positive outlook for sustained growth and profitability.
Bears say
Crane's outlook is negatively impacted by a decline in its Process Flow Technologies (PFT) segment, which experienced a 1.5% organic sales decrease in the fourth quarter of 2025, largely due to weakness in the chemical business across various global regions. Additionally, the company's inbound organic orders fell 4% year-over-year, indicating a cautious demand environment that could contribute to projected lower growth for 2026. Moreover, Crane's earnings guidance for the fourth quarter suggests a potential shortfall relative to internal and consensus estimates, reflecting ongoing concerns about inflated pricing and volume declines in the PFT segment.
