11:15 AM EDT, 05/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We increase our 12-month target price by $7 to $508, on an EV/EBITDA of 18.5x our FY 28 (June) EBITDA estimate, in line with CRS's average forward EV/EBITDA during the trailing 12 months of 18.6x. We raise our EPS estimates: FY 26 by $0.07 to $10.64, FY 27 by $0.62 to $13.84 and FY 28 by $0.08 to $16.60. CRS remains exceptionally well-positioned as the aerospace cycle accelerates, with structural demand inflecting and engine orders surging amid tightening nickel-based superalloy supply. We expect sustained pricing power and further margin expansion as SAO segment profitability targets 40%+ longer-term. The $400M brownfield expansion adds only modest capacity versus industry deficits, preserving favorable supply-demand dynamics through FY 28+. However, shares now trade well above historical EV/EBITDA multiples, prompting our downgrade despite strong fundamentals. After the 112% increase in share price in the last year, we think CRS is baking in most of the positive fundamentals, leaving less potential upside.
