What Konecranes does

Finnish manufacturer of industrial cranes, lifting equipment and port/material-handling solutions.

Sells new cranes against orders from factories and ports, with revenue recognised as delivered, and maintains the cranes afterwards under service contracts and parts sales, the steadier line. It combined with Terex's material-handling and port business in 2016, adding port equipment.

How has Konecranes stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +5.4% against -12.2% for the median peer; over one year -0.4%.

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.
