Xylem Inc. (XYL-N) is a prominent player in the water sector, focused on treating, transporting, and testing both drinking and wastewater. The company operates in a space that addresses the critical issue of water scarcity; while 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water, only a small fraction is suitable for consumption. With aging infrastructure in developed nations in dire need of upgrades, Xylem stands to benefit significantly from increased demand. It is one of the few publicly traded companies that specialize solely in water, leading to a premium valuation. Currently, analysts have set a price target of $143.50, while the company is on a path of operational improvement and is poised for growth, although market sentiment suggests a potential pullback may be forthcoming. A yield of 1.24% adds an element of income for investors holding this stock, with recommendations leaning toward maintaining positions and adding on pullbacks.
Treats, transports, and tests water (drinking and wastewater). Water is a scarce resource; 70% of the earth is water, but only about 2% is drinkable. Aging infrastructure in developed countries needs to be refurbished. Lots of industries require water. One of the few pure-play, publicly traded water companies, and so it trades at a premium.
International, with 50% of earnings coming from the US. Going through an operating margin improvement program, to refine focus on customers and products that are most lucrative. Yield is 1.24%.
Dominant in water sector. One of the few publicly listed pure plays, so valuation tends to be elevated. Treat, transport, and test water. Clients are utility companies and industrials. Water is a scarce resource. Likes the new acquisition, accretive to earnings in the long run, will expand presence in the space.
Fundamentals remain attractive. She likes the water industry and this is a rare pure-water company. Benefits from ESG fund flows, so the share price ran up to overvalue. It's now more attractive. The semi chip shortage is impacting their business, so they can't fulfill all their orders. Will take time to fill these orders this year. She's long owned this. Definitely hold this. She is slowing adding to her holdings.
