Our note on each quarter Crane files

10-Q filed October 29: Crane Co

Crane Co's revenue reached $2.76bn in the twelve months to September 2026, a rise of 21.5% on the year before and an acceleration from the 16.3% growth recorded a quarter earlier. Among the 64 industrial machinery & supplies & components companies we cover, that pace ranks ninth. Free-cash-flow margin was unchanged at 13.8%. The fundamentals grade has improved from C+ to B. Our model value sits at $174 a share, little changed, while the shares trade at $205. We keep the rating at Hold. At that price, the market appears to be pricing in cash-flow growth of about 18.3% a year for five years, well ahead of the 6.0% a year revenue growth the company has actually delivered.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 16.3% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the 6.0% a year revenue growth Crane has delivered.

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($204.42, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Crane Co's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($337M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 11.8% and 15.2% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 20% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$160–~$290 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Crane Co's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $337M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Crane Co as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.1 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

How our valuation uses these forecasts

Our cash-flow model grows Crane Co's revenue by +11.8% next year and +15.2% the year after, then fades back toward its own record by year five. Next year's rate weighs analysts' consensus (+9.2%, weight 44%) , management guidance (+9.7%, weight 33%) and the company's own record (+20.0%, weight 22%) . How the weights are set.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Crane Co’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade B (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best).

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
