Parker-Hannifin stock has delivered a very strong 5 year run, yet the latest valuation checks suggest the shares now trade close to what current models view as fair value rather than as a clear bargain. The share price has gained about 264.1% over 5 years, which puts extra focus on whether recent returns already reflect the company’s long term cash flow potential. The completed acquisition of Filtration Group Corporation may support longer term revenue and earnings power. The risk is that...
