Carpenter Technology upgraded to Buy after 36% price drop and better cash flow outlook

Carpenter Technology (CRS) has been upgraded to Buy following a 36% decline in its stock price and improved expectations for free cash flow. The company's operating income is forecasted to grow between 21% and 25% by fiscal year 2027, with targets of $1.2 to $1.3 billion by fiscal year 2029, driven by strong aerospace demand and capacity expansion. Free cash flow expectations have increased by 20% due to strong cash conversion and reduced capital expenditures, supporting a price target of $438.44, implying a 14% upside. The valuation reset, stable earnings outlook, and robust aerospace cycle position Carpenter Technology well for shareholder value creation through share repurchases and dividends.

Carpenter Technology's stock price has declined 36% before its recent upgrade to Buy.
