Auriga maintains a 'Buy' on Crane (NYSE: CR) price target revised to $53.00.
Analyst, Mike Callahan, said, "Crane Co. reported 1Q EPS of $0.88, which was slightly behind Street expectations as margin headwinds more than offset a nice revenue beat in the quarter. As a result, shares pulled back 7% leaving more than 20% upside to our revised price target of $53. While we recognize margin concerns, we believe the sell-off was largely overdone, particularly as it overlooks a strong demand environment. We are reducing our price target to $53 (from $56), as we adjust our estimates to reflect softer margin assumptions. Given better-than-expected top line performance and our expectation for full-year EPS growth of 12%, we maintain our rating."
