The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- ITW closes above its 50-day average ($271.82), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($271.33): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $280.95, ITW is 7.3% below its 1-year high of $303.16, set on February 12, 2026, and 17.6% above its 1-year low of $238.82 (November 18, 2025).
- Over the past month ITW rose 6.1%, from $264.71 to $280.95.
- ITW trades at 25.1x its last twelve months of earnings and 22.8x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 10.2% higher.
- Its P/E is 26.6% below the 34.1x median of the 3 other specialty industrial machinery companies we track (GE, ETN, PH).
- ITW's 30-day volatility, 23.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.5%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.94: over five years of monthly returns, ITW moved about 0.94% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $271.82 (−3.2% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $271.33 (−3.4%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $303.16 (+7.9%) would be a new 1-year high; below $238.82 (−15.0%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for ITW, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under specialty industrial machinery among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for ITW by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
