Columbus McKinnon stock (ISIN US1993331057) was last at USD 16.92 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, up 1.11 percent on the session. The industrial technology company is still being judged against a Q1 FY2027 report that showed revenue of USD 531.46 million and quarterly EPS of USD 0.61, according to MarketBeat in its October 1, 2026 report.

Revenue jumps after Kito Crosby

The Q1 figure was 125.3 percent above the prior-year quarter, reflecting the first full quarter after Columbus McKinnon completed its Kito Crosby acquisition. MarketBeat reported that EPS exceeded the USD 0.27 consensus estimate, while revenue also topped the USD 501.27 million forecast.

The headline growth carries a major integration component. Management's fiscal 2027 outlook calls for adjusted EPS of USD 1.90-2.10, and the company is working toward USD 70 million in annual net cost synergies, with savings initially concentrated in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Guidance puts execution to the test

The scale of the acquisition lifted reported sales, but the earnings profile remains more complex than the revenue number. The same MarketBeat report said Columbus McKinnon posted USD 0.50 EPS in the comparable prior-year period and had a negative net margin of 21.25 percent for the latest quarter.

Debt reduction is therefore central to the investment case. Columbus McKinnon said it completed a repricing of a USD 1.453 billion Term Loan B and a USD 500 million revolving credit facility on September 21, 2026, according to the company announcement carried by StockTitan.

Consensus target stays above price

MarketBeat shows a Moderate Buy consensus from five analysts and an average 12-month price target of USD 23.00. That target lies 35.9 percent above the October 5 price of USD 16.92, giving the consensus a clear numerical premium while the stock remains 30.7 percent below its 52-week high of USD 24.40.

The range also highlights the risk of relying on the target alone. CMCO's 52-week low is USD 11.99, and the current market capitalization is USD 487.8 million, placing the company in a small-cap segment where acquisition integration and leverage can have an outsized effect on results.
