What the Analysts think about Kennametal
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Kennametal stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Kennametal stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Kennametal reported 42% organic sales growth in the fourth quarter and expects fiscal 2027 sales of $3.33bn–$3.45bn, with volume growth of 1%–4%. This points to improving demand beyond pricing alone. (Kennametal Inc.)
Share gains and customer wins in aerospace and defence, energy and earthworks give Kennametal opportunities to outgrow the broader industrial cycle. Aerospace and defence sales rose 43% in the quarter, while energy sales rose 101%. (The Motley Fool)
Restructuring savings offer a route to stronger underlying margins as commodity-related gains fade. Kennametal reported $27m of savings in fiscal 2026 and is targeting $110m in cumulative savings by the end of fiscal 2027. (The Motley Fool)
Recent record margins are heavily boosted by a temporary tungsten price-cost timing benefit, making reported earnings vulnerable as that benefit unwinds. Morgan Stanley estimated fiscal 2027 guidance included $3.50 per share of this benefit and downgraded the shares on the risk of normalisation. (Investing.com)
Tungsten-related inventory needs have strained cash generation: free operating cash flow was negative $79m in fiscal 2026, despite sharply higher earnings. Borrowing to fund working capital also raises interest costs, with fiscal 2027 interest expense forecast at about $50m. (Kennametal Inc., The Motley Fool)
Some end markets remain weak: management expects transportation to soften, with global light-vehicle production forecast to decline, while coal-market weakness weighs on earthworks. A downturn in these cyclical customers could undermine volume growth. (The Motley Fool)
