Questions

Who are Alimak's main competitors?
Named competitors: Terex Corporation (TEX), Alimak peers (Geda, private) (private or unlisted), Manitowoc (MTW). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Ingersoll-Rand (India) (INGERRAND.NS), Greenbrier Companies (GBX), KTK (603680.SS), Austal (ASB.AX), Hengbo (301225.SZ), Asian Star Anchor Chain (601890.SS).
Is Alimak expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 16.6× against a peer median of 18.9×, 6th cheapest of 13 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 8% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +13%, so the hurdle is -4 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Alimak stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +12.6% against -17.8% for the median peer; over one year -14.3%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
