Revisions (97): Analysts have, on balance, been raising their forecasts.
Accruals (24): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.
Size (14): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

Crane Company held its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on October 28, 2026. The excerpt lists company executives and analysts participating but provides no discussion of results or business developments.
Why it matters — The call is a source of updates for CR watchers, though this excerpt contains no substantive information about the quarter.
Crane reported third-quarter 2026 results, citing 9.5% core sales growth at AAT and 6.2% at PFT, with PFT core orders up 19.7%. The company raised and narrowed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance.

The 10 Wall Street analysts covering Crane Co. have a median 12-month price target of $243, with estimates ranging from $198 to $260. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 10 analysts covering Crane Co., 9 rate it a Buy, 1 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Crane Co. 58 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 28 Oct 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 28 Oct 2026, Crane Co. ranks 58 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Revisions (97 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 10 analysts implies +17.8% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Crane Co. 58 out of 100 as at 28 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Crane Co. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for CR are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $198 to $260 over the next 12 months.
Crane Co. returned +7.1% over the 12 months to 29 Oct 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
