$CR Does Crane's raised
$7.23-
$7.38 EPS guide rest on its own growth, or on the companies it bought?
š Crane Company, which makes engineered parts for aerospace, defense and process plants, is worth about
$11.16B at
$192.995 a share at 16:20 ET on October 27, 2026, and raised its 2026 adjusted EPS guide to
$7.23-
$7.38 from
$6.85-
$7.05
ā ļø With
$5.50 of adjusted EPS already booked in nine months, the new range implies Q4 adjusted EPS of about
$1.73-
$1.88, below Q3's
$2.05
š The bull case is that core backlog rose 9%, Process Flow core orders rose 19.7%, and Q3 free cash flow was
$116.3M while Crane repaid
$170.0M of debt
š
Next: On the October 28, 2026 call, watch the implied Q4 dip and earnings of the UK Building Services & Utilities unit being sold for £230 million
