We’ve increased our fair value estimate for narrow-moat Crane to $85 from $83 after the company reported strong first-quarter results, featuring a 27% year-over-year increase in adjusted operating profit. The fair value adjustment reflects our slightly more optimistic revenue growth and operating margin projections as well as time value of money. We view the stock as modestly undervalued, with shares currently trading in 4-star territory.

CR’s stock style is Small Core.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
