Crane NXT reported robust fourth-quarter and full-year results for 2025 and said it will raise its annual dividend by 6 percent, as the industrial technology group presses ahead with acquisitions and forecast growth.
The company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, said full-year sales climbed about 11 percent to $1.66 billion, driven in part by the acquisition of De La Rue Authentication Solutions.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, net sales rose nearly 20 percent to $476.9 million from $399.1 million a year earlier.
In its latest financial report, Crane NXT said core sales — excluding acquisition and foreign-exchange effects — grew 4.8 percent in the final quarter, while operating profit margins held steady despite cost pressures.
The board approved a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share for the first quarter of 2026, representing a roughly 6 percent increase over the prior year. The dividend is payable March 11th to shareholders of record on February 28th.
Chief Executive Aaron W. Saak said the company made “significant progress evolving our portfolio”, highlighting an initial equity investment in Antares Vision that expands Crane NXT’s reach into life sciences and food and beverage sectors. Completion of the Antares Vision acquisition remains on track for later this year.
Crane NXT also issued guidance for 2026, forecasting adjusted earnings per share of between $4.10 and $4.40 and continued moderate sales growth.
