Legal Tender Loving Care

Some companies print money figuratively. Crane NXT does it literally.

Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann launched coverage with a Buy rating. His pitch: a 150-year-old banknote printing franchise, paired with proprietary authentication tech and advanced manufacturing.

Beyond the Bills

Volkmann sees that mix delivering durable mid-single-digit organic growth.

Crane NXT is no longer just a currency company. Acquisitions over the past three years nearly doubled its total addressable market to about $13B.

The expanded portfolio reaches faster-growing markets like food and beverage and pharma.

Volkmann also sees secular tailwinds from supply chain digitization and emerging market growth, which he believes should widen the stock's appeal.

What's NXT

Wall Street already leans bullish. 6 of 7 analysts covering the stock rate it a Buy or Strong Buy, while just one sits at Hold.

Shares are in the red this year, though they ticked higher in the premarket after the call. Jefferies is betting investors will soon look closer… and find this one is worth more than face value.
