CRSCarpenter Technology Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though priced for +15% a year vs −5% a year delivered.
Priced for ~15% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
In its normal range: P/E 25.1 vs a 29.4 median over 29 quarters (−15% vs median).
Sector median 21.2× 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 Sep 30, 2026.
