The setup on Crane Company is patient: consolidation, not accumulation or distribution. Institutional coverage is thorough here, so shifts in analyst expectations show up in price quickly.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into CR?

RICH

At today's price, Crane Company needs to grow free cash flow about 28.2% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.19% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 21.9% a year, so the market is asking for 6.3 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis CR looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Behaviour On Record

What CR's own history says about today's numbers

Realized volatility (21d)
18.2% 2nd pct
vs 200-day average
+6.3%
Up days (1y)
55%

Crane Company is currently running 18.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CR's own 3 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 2nd percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 28.6%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

Price sits +6.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 33rd percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year CR closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 38 of 882 sessions (4.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.4% and -6.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 883 daily closes between 2023-03-29 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CR's own 4-year history, not a peer group or index.
