The main question: results are strong, and the P/E is higher than 98% of its own history. ## What is the Crane NXT share price today? Crane NXT, Co.'s share price was $60.04 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 7 weeks. That is 25.3% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $36 and $62, and at that close it sat 91% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 4 weeks in a row. Over the last 3.6 years the share price moved +54% while the S&P 500 moved +84%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Crane NXT pay? Crane NXT, Co. paid $0.70 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.18 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $60.04 that is a yield of 1.17%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Crane NXT on? Crane NXT is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Crane NXT profitable? Crane NXT, Co. earned $35.4 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +42.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $145 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −5.0% a year on average. That is 7.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $24.9 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $145 M (−21.2% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +22.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.2 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −9.4% and revenue +17.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Crane NXT make, and is it growing? Crane NXT, Co. reported $493 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +22.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 9th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 5.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.8 B. FY25 revenue was $1.7 B, +11.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +17.3% on average, against 5.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +17.3%, against +13.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew −7.3%, against −11.9% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Crane NXT keep? Crane NXT, Co.'s operating margin was 15.6% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.2 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 17.3% and 22.9%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.6 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Crane NXT's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 141% of Crane NXT, Co.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $242 M of operating cash against $145 M of profit. After $43.2 M of spending on assets, $198 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Crane NXT's cash go? Crane NXT, Co. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $120 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $120 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Crane NXT's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Crane NXT, Co.'s P/E is 24.8×, about the highest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 18.6×, over 3.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −21.6% while the price moved −5.1%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +3.5% a year; about −11.8% a year came from earnings growth and about +15.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Crane NXT business getting better or worse? Crane NXT, Co.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −7.3% in the latest quarter, against −2.2% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 11.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Crane NXT earn on its capital? Crane NXT, Co. earned a ROE of 12% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 8.8% net margin and 0.53× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 8.8% net margin × 0.53× asset turnover × 2.48× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 11.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 9.5% − 7.9% = +1.6 percentage points. The 7.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. The 9.5% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 11.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Crane NXT have too much debt? Crane NXT, Co. has total debt of $1.5 B against shareholder equity of $1.3 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.14× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.15 in FY21 to 0.96 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Crane NXT shareholding pattern? 16.9% of Crane NXT, Co.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 17.2 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Crane NXT from balance-sheet trouble? For Crane NXT, Co., the Z-score is 1.82. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.82 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Crane NXT rank in its industry?
