In short
- Thesis
- Parker-Hannifin trades at a premium because investors pay for record margins, aerospace aftermarket sales and acquisitions, and Filtration Group results on plan with falling debt can earn it.
- Gap
- Slow. The Q2 fiscal 2027 report expected in late January 2027 is the next test, but proof that the Filtration Group and CIRCOR deals pay off takes several years.
Company guidance: Adjusted EPS of $36.45 to $37.25 and free cash flow of $3,500 to $4,000 million for fiscal 2027 (, Q1 fiscal 2027 earnings release (8-K))
Price history
About
Parker-Hannifin makes motion and control technologies, such as hydraulics, pneumatics, filtration, seals, electric motor controls and aircraft systems. It has two segments: Diversified Industrial, with North America and International businesses, and Aerospace Systems. Sales were $21.5 billion in fiscal 2026 and $6.0 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027.
Its fiscal year ends on June 30. It bought Curtis Instruments in September 2025 and Filtration Group in August 2026, and it has agreed to buy the aerospace business of CIRCOR International. It has increased its annual dividend for 70 consecutive fiscal years.
Thesis
Parker-Hannifin trades at a premium because investors pay for steady margin gains, a large aerospace business with aftermarket sales and a long record of acquisitions that raise earnings. The adjusted segment operating margin was a record 28.6% in Q1 fiscal 2027, and the company raised its target to 30% by fiscal 2031. Orders rose 13% over 12 months, and the backlog reached a record $13.7 billion.
For the premium to be earned, three things must be true. Organic sales growth must stay inside or above the fiscal 2027 guidance of 7.5% to 10.5% as industrial markets recover. Filtration Group and, after it closes, CIRCOR Aerospace must add earnings and cost savings as planned.
Free cash flow must reach the fiscal 2027 guidance of $3.5 billion to $4.0 billion and reduce the debt of about $17.5 billion that the Filtration Group purchase increased. The Q2 fiscal 2027 report, expected in late January 2027, gives the next test, and the CIRCOR Aerospace closing, expected in calendar 2026, gives another. The premium can shrink if industrial demand falls, if integration costs rise, or if the higher debt stops buybacks for longer than planned.

Risks
- Debt rose to about $17.5 billion at September 30, 2026 from $8.5 billion at June 30, 2026 after the Filtration Group purchase, and the CIRCOR Aerospace purchase can add up to $2.0 billion more. Interest expense rose to $146 million in Q1 fiscal 2027 from $101 million a year earlier.
- Most sales come from industrial customers. Organic growth was 4.0% in EMEA and a fall of 1.3% in Latin America in Q1 fiscal 2027, and a downturn in industrial demand can lower sales and margins.
- Goodwill and intangible assets were $27.9 billion at September 30, 2026, after the Filtration Group purchase. If the acquired businesses earn less than planned, the company can record impairments.
- Aerospace Systems depends on aircraft build rates and air travel. Slower aircraft production or less flying can reduce original equipment and aftermarket sales.
- Tariffs change costs and prices. In Q1 fiscal 2027, the company returned $27 million of tariffs to customers after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs.
