Crane Co director Susan D. Lynch reported an open-market purchase of the company’s common stock. On April 30, 2026, she bought 150 shares at $177.38 per share. After this transaction, she directly owns 370 Crane Co common shares, indicating a relatively small, routine insider purchase.
Crane Company reported sharply higher Q1 2026 sales but lower profit as it absorbed two large acquisitions and higher interest costs. Net sales rose to $696.4 million from $557.6 million, driven by the January 1 purchases of Druck, Panametrics, Reuter‑Stokes and an optical measurement business, plus modest core growth and favorable currency.
Operating profit was essentially flat at $100.1 million versus $101.1 million, and the operating margin narrowed to 14.4% from 18.1% as acquisition-related costs, mix and higher expenses offset productivity gains. Net income attributable to common shareholders fell to $67.1 million from $107.1 million, partly because the prior year included a $28.8 million after‑tax gain from discontinued operations.
Crane paid about $1,179.2 million (net of cash acquired) for Druck, Panametrics and Reuter‑Stokes and $176.2 million for the optical measurement company, expanding both segments and lifting goodwill to $1,346.4 million. These deals were largely funded with new debt: long‑term borrowings increased to $1,192.6 million and cash and cash equivalents declined to $355.4 million. Backlog reached $1,794.8 million, and management expects total 2026 sales growth in the low‑to‑mid 20%s, with contributions from acquisitions and mid‑single‑digit core growth, though segment margins are expected to dip modestly due to acquisition dilution.
