Analysis

The Manitowoc Company (MTW) currently trades at $18.81, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.21, implying the stock looks roughly 77.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average 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, The Manitowoc Company generated revenue of $2.3B at a net margin of 0.3%. Revenue grew 5.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.1%. Net debt stands at $506M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $3.16 (bear case) to $5.26 (bull case); at $18.81, 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 107% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 12% fair-value upside, at -78%, MTW 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.
