After reviewing Crane’s May 14 investor day presentation, we reiterate our narrow moat rating and raise our fair value estimate to $120 from $110. Our more optimistic midcycle profitability assumptions drive our fair value estimate increase.
Crane owns a portfolio of moatworthy businesses that enjoy leading share in niche end markets.
We expect the company to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions, and poor execution of its M&A strategy could destroy shareholder value.
