Gautam Khanna has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Carpenter Technology’s strong market position and future growth potential. The management of Carpenter Technology is optimistic about the sustained pricing power of jet engine alloys, which is expected to persist for years. This confidence is supported by the fact that downstream customers prioritize product quality and availability over pricing, indicating a favorable pricing environment for Carpenter Technology.
Additionally, Carpenter Technology’s sales strategy is robust, with non-long-term agreement sales being made for specific products at prices equal to or above those covered by long-term agreements. The company also benefits from strong demand for its gas turbine products, which, despite having lower average selling prices, still achieve aerospace-level margins. Furthermore, Carpenter Technology is nearing the end of a de-stocking phase with Boeing, positioning it well for future production rate increases. These factors collectively underpin Khanna’s positive outlook and Buy rating for the stock.
