Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 57 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Sector relative strength · before individual stocks

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Cummins Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Crane Company has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.

Exact sum: 25.4 + 8.2 + 10 + 0.6 = 44.2

Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -29.1% and the one-year return is -16.7%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

GE Vernova Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies compared here, at $39,375 million. Cummins Inc. is next at $33,894 million. JBT Marel Corporation has the highest Revenue growth at 78.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 24 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: GE Vernova Inc. is the scale leader at $39,375 million, 16.2% ahead of Cummins Inc.. JBT Marel Corporation's growth is 78.2% from a $3,880 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderGE Vernova Inc. · $39,375 million
Gap16.2% versus #2 · Cummins Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage24/30 companies · 559 observations

Investor read: GE Vernova Inc. is the scale benchmark; JBT Marel Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: GE Vernova Inc.'s growth falls below JBT Marel Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

JBT Marel Corporation has the highest Margin change at +11.2 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: AMETEK, Inc. leads opm at 26.7%; JBT Marel Corporation leads margin change at +11.2 percentage points.

LeaderAMETEK, Inc. · 26.7%
Gap0.4% versus #2 · Nordson Corporation
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 559 observations

Investor read: AMETEK, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

LeaderGE Vernova Inc. · $9,365 million
Gap134.5% versus #2 · Eaton Corporation plc
Persistence3/4 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/30 companies · 560 observations

Investor read: GE Vernova Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Capacity Spending & Returns On It

GE Vernova Inc. has the highest CAPEX among the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies compared here, at $397 million. Eaton Corporation plc is next at $193 million. Symbotic Inc. has the highest CAPEX intensity at 6.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: GE Vernova Inc. reports $397 million of CAPEX; Symbotic Inc. has the highest covered intensity at 6.4%. Coverage is only 30 of 30 companies and 558 reported observations, so this is partial evidence—not a complete sector rank.

LeaderGE Vernova Inc. · $397 million
Gap105.7% versus #2 · Eaton Corporation plc
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 558 observations

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Annual capital allocation · 7-year view
30/30 capacity base · 30/30 OCF · 30/30 CAPEX · 30/30 FCF

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here. Missing years remain blank; annual values are never relabelled as quarters.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Symbotic Inc. has the lowest Gross debt among the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies compared here, at $0 million. Graco Inc. is next at $45 million. GE Vernova Inc. has the lowest Net debt at $7,366 million net cash, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: GE Vernova Inc. has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with $7,366 million net cash and gross debt of $2,806 million. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderSymbotic Inc. · $0 million
Gap100% versus #2 · Graco Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 559 observations

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Return On Capital Employed

Otis Worldwide Corporation has the highest ROCE among the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies compared here, at 18.6%. Illinois Tool Works Inc. is next at 9%. Symbotic Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +4.8 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Otis Worldwide Corporation leads ROCE at 18.6%, 9.6 percentage points above Illinois Tool Works Inc.. Symbotic Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +4.8 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderOtis Worldwide Corporation · 18.6%
Gap106.7% versus #2 · Illinois Tool Works Inc.
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 554 observations

Investor read: Otis Worldwide Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Cummins Inc. has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies compared here, at 0.8×. Donaldson Company, Inc. is next at 0.95×. A. O. Smith Corporation has the lowest P/E at 17.5×, so level and change sit with different companies. 23 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Cummins Inc. has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 0.8×, 15.8% below Donaldson Company, Inc.. Only 23 of 30 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderCummins Inc. · 0.8×
Gap15.8% versus #2 · Donaldson Company, Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage23/30 companies · 145 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

EV/EBITDA includes debt in enterprise value and is useful across different capital structures. P/BV prices the company against its own book. Both are market multiples on reported figures, not intrinsic-value estimates and not forecasts.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Specialty Industrial Machinery comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 30 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 30 companies in the canonical Specialty Industrial Machinery membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

Specialty Industrial Machinery company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the Specialty Industrial Machinery comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company is the biggest?

GE Vernova Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $39,375 million, ahead of Cummins Inc. at $33,894 million. That covers 24 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company is growing fastest?

JBT Marel Corporation has the fastest revenue growth at 78.2% year on year, across 24 of 30 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company has the best profit margins?

AMETEK, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 26.7%, from 30 of 30 comparable companies. JBT Marel Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +11.2 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company makes the most profit?

GE Vernova Inc. earns the most, at $9,365 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 30 comparable companies. GE Vernova Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company earns the highest return on capital?

Otis Worldwide Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 18.6%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Cummins Inc. screens cheapest at 0.8×. Only 23 of 30 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company has the strongest balance sheet?

Symbotic Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 30 of 30 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company is investing most in new capacity?

GE Vernova Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $397 million, across 30 of 30 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Is the Specialty Industrial Machinery sector beating the market?

Specialty Industrial Machinery has outperformed S&P 500 by 0.9% over the last 52 weeks and 0.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 14 of 30 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery stock has the strongest price momentum?

Enpro Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Specialty Industrial Machinery company scores highest for research priority?

Watts Water Technologies, Inc. scores 75.7 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 27.8 points on growth and earnings, 16.9 on capital efficiency, 13.9 on valuation and 17.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Specialty Industrial Machinery companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 7 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the Specialty Industrial Machinery sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies on this page is 29.7×, measured on the 29 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-28.

How is the Specialty Industrial Machinery sector performing?

14 of the 30 covered Specialty Industrial Machinery companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 0.9% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-07-28.

How many Specialty Industrial Machinery stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 30 listed Specialty Industrial Machinery companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
