CRSCarpenter Technology Corporation
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +25% a year vs −5% a year delivered, at the top of its own P/E range, and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~25% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 36.7 vs a 28.1 median over 28 quarters (+30% vs median).
Sector median 23.3× across 246 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.
