AI Summary

5.0
Neutral

MTW is now a turnaround-and-aftermarket execution bet: its $1 billion services ambition and $1.05 billion backlog could create more durable margins, but after the sharp rally investors should wait for sustained cash conversion and inventory discipline before underwriting the re-rating.
