What are Wall Street analysts saying about Crown stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Crown stock:
- 1. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We expect CCK to continue to hit its cash flow targets but also to struggle to grow organic EBIT, particularly as the global economy continues to slow. We expect flat organic EBIT in 2019 even with N.A. beverage can price increases. We think CCK is a stable business that generates reasonably predictable results, but the valuation should reflect limited growth. We are reducing our 2019 adj. EPS estimate from $5.51 to $5.32 (guidance is $5.20- $5.40); we were below consensus for 2019 coming into the release, and the Company indeed guided below consensus (on pension and FX). Our 2019 adj. EBIT estimate is coming down by 2% following the 4Q miss, and results in flat organic EBIT following a year in which organic EBIT declined by 4%; we think flat organic EBIT is an appropriate assumption given the Company’s difficulty growing EBIT in years past." (2/7/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Crown Holdings projects fourth-quarter 2018 earnings per share between 97 cents and $1.20. Crown Holdings' results in the fourth quarter will be impacted by damages caused by hurricanes Florence and Michael. Its performance will be hurt by elevated freight costs in North America and negative impact of foreign currency-translation. The company will also bear the brunt of fluctuations in the price of raw materials due to tariffs. High level of indebtedness and substantial competition also remain matter of concerns. Moreover, its shares have underperformed the industry over the past year." (1/29/2019)
