Crane Manufacturers Report Surging Orders, Yet Stocks Slump


The worldwide crane market was crushed during the financial crisis and still hadn't recovered as 2010 ended, even though several industrial and mining equipment manufacturers have already recovered to pre financial crisis levels such as Caterpillar (CAT), Joy Global (JOYG) and Bucyrus (BUCY).
Fortunately for U.S.-based crane makers, Q1 2011 saw a surge in orders and finally signals of a market recovery. Both Manitowoc (MTW) and Terex (TEX) saw huge backlog increases in the crane segment. MTW had a nearly 40% increase in backlog to $800M from the $572M reported at December 31st. TEX had a 30% increase in backlog and like MTW saw plenty of demand in North America. The total went from $774M to $1,004M.
