If you believe CMI can reaccelerate revenue growth and sustain its 24.6% ROIC while defending margins, then holding or modestly adding makes sense because the stock is near fair value and balance-sheet risk is contained relative to NDSN.
CMI’s current price of $672.67 is only 3.0% below the implied price of $693.12, suggesting the stock is close to fair value on this framework. Versus NDSN, CMI looks cheaper on earnings and cash-generation proxies but not enough to create a clear valuation discount given its weaker growth and margins.
