Price from 2 days ago
Margins and capital returns are both well above average: 84.34% operating margin, ROIC at 160.31%. Consistent with durable pricing power, though that alone doesn't make it a buy.
Revenue growth slowed to 2.9%, essentially flat. This is a business that needs a catalyst.
At 41x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 537% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened.
40.6x earnings, 11.8x FCF. The market is pricing in years of above-average growth. If that thesis breaks, downside from multiple compression alone could be 30%+. This is a stock where you're paying for the future, not the present.

Frequently asked
What is Manitowoc Company's fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $56.83 per share for MTW, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $42.62. At today's $22.75, that puts the stock about 149.8% below estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Is Manitowoc Company a high-quality business?+
Manitowoc Company scores 68 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a solid business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 63.3% operating margin and a 119.3% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Is Manitowoc Company a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. MTW currently trades below its estimated intrinsic value and scores 68/100 on quality (solid). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
