Xylem Inc. (XYL), headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia, designs, manufactures, and services engineered products and solutions. With a market cap of $33.4 billion, the company offers water and wastewater pumps, treatment and testing equipment, industrial pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and dispensing equipment. The leading global water technology company is expected to announce its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings for 2025 in the near future.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect XYL to report a profit of $1.41 per share on a diluted basis, up 19.5% from $1.18 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has consistently surpassed Wall Street’s EPS estimates in its last four quarterly reports.
For the full year, analysts expect XYL to report EPS of $5.06, up 18.5% from $4.27 in fiscal 2024. Its EPS is expected to rise 9.5% year over year to $5.54 in fiscal 2026.
XYL stock has outperformed the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 16.2% gains over the past 52 weeks, with shares up 18.6% during this period. However, it underperformed the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 20.4% gains over the same time frame.
Xylem's outperformance is driven by strong demand for water management solutions, successful pricing and productivity gains, and strategic investments. Management expects continued growth, supported by advanced metering infrastructure demand and simplification efforts, despite macro headwinds, and anticipates margin improvement from divesting the international metering business.
