- A high-quality business (quality 74/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.

- A fairly wide model range ($71.72 to $131.12) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Crane Company (CR) currently trades at $218.55, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $95.81, implying the stock looks roughly 56.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 74/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Crane Company generated revenue of $2.4B at a net margin of 13.4%. Revenue grew 24.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $514M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $71.72 (bear case) to $131.12 (bull case); at $218.55, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 37% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -56%, CR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($107.08) versus Dividend Discount ($10.07). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
