-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We lift our 12-month target following Q1 results to $250 from $220, valuing shares at 27x our 2027 EPS outlook of $9.27 (up from $8.15; 2026 EPS forecast revised to $7.95 from $7.46), above ITT's long-term historical average given portfolio optimization toward high-growth markets. The integration of SPX FLOW, which closed in March, accounted for a significant portion of the top-line expansion (up 33% Y/Y) and was immediately accretive to adjusted earnings per share - even after accounting for initial acquisition-related costs and financing. We are encouraged by ITT's early results in integrating SPX FLOW, with $15M of cost synergies expected by year-end. Underlying organic performance was driven by sustained strength in aerospace and defense within the CCT segment, share gains in Motion Tech that outpaced a declining automotive market, and robust project and short-cycle activity in the legacy Flow Tech business.
