Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Xylem Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Following Q1 results, we trim our 12-month target to $140 from $160, applying a multiple more in line with the broader industrial machinery sub-industry. We value shares at 23.2x our 2027 EPS outlook of $6.02 (in line with previous forecast; 2026 EPS view revised to $5.52 from $5.50). XYL's organic revenues and orders were flat Y/Y, while adjusted EBITDA margins expanded by 20 bps and adjusted EPS increased by 9%. Measurement & Control saw a 15% increase in orders driven by smart metering demand, while Applied Water experienced a surge in orders related to data centers. These gains were offset by declines in the Water Infrastructure and Water Solutions & Services, which was impacted by strategic "walkaway" actions, softness in China, and timing of capital projects. We reiterate our Buy opinion on shares, though we do acknowledge heightened risk associated with a more back-half-weighted earnings guide, with Q3 and Q4 having higher expectations.

Research Alert: Xylem Delivers Q1 Beat; Margins Tick Higher

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:XYL delivered mixed Q1 results, with EPS of $1.12 beating consensus by $0.04 on operational execution, though orders were flat Y/Y. Revenue of $2.1B was flat organically, with strong Measurement & Control (M&C) sales (up 15%) offset by Water Solutions declines (down 15%). We attribute the beat to margin expansion and operational improvements from transformation initiatives, with adjusted EBITDA margin improving 20 bps to 20.6%. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $9.2B-$9.3B from $9.1B-$9.2B, while maintaining EPS guidance at $5.35-5.60. Segment results were mixed, with M&C serving as a growth engine delivering 18% order growth on robust smart water tech demand, while Water Solutions orders declined 12% due to timing. We believe XYL's 80/20 simplification strategy continues supporting profitability amid inflationary pressures, though we take unchanged EPS guidance as lacking confidence that higher sales will translate to better margins.
