Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann initiates coverage on Crane NXT (NYSE: CXT) with a Buy rating and a price target of $60.00.

The analyst comments "We initiate on Crane NXT (CXT) with a Buy rating and $60 price target. CXT is a diversified niche industrial focused on authentication & security in the currency, food, and healthcare markets. Higher exposure to secular trends underpins MSD+ growth, with potential M&A upside, while the Crane Business System supports continued mid-20% EBITDA margins and 100% FCF conversion. Our $60 PT (~8.5x 2027E EV/EBITDA) implies 30% upside."
