Columbus McKinnon's fiscal Q1 results showed minimal revenue growth, driven by pricing, with slight volume contraction. Gross margin improved, and EBITDA beat modestly, but operating margin was pressured by facility transition costs. Orders declined, reflecting weaker end-market conditions, but short-cycle markets may be nearing the bottom of the cycle, giving CMCO leverage to market recoveries and expansion into new markets. The Street seems to be underrating the value of the company's mix shift toward precision conveyance, automation, and industrial motion, as these are key enabling technologies for factory automation.
