Xylem Inc. (XYL-N) appears to be a promising investment opportunity due to its pivotal role in the global water management sector. The company operates in a market where water scarcity is becoming increasingly critical, with only a small fraction of the world's water being drinkable. Expert reviews indicate that the stock is a solid buy despite recent fluctuations, with one expert highlighting its potential for future growth and the need for ongoing upgrades to water infrastructure globally. While the stock has recently broken out, there may be a potential for a pullback, suggesting that current investors could benefit from holding their position or even adding to it on dips. Overall, the long-term outlook remains positive as the demand for innovative water solutions continues to rise.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Waiting to buy more around $95. Has long owned this. They treat water, which is a scarce resource. Developing countries are still building water infrastructure, while developed countries are upgrading or replacing that. This is a long-term hold. This is a strong ESG stock.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 28/20, Up 23%) Water scarcity is an pressing issue and the water grid around the world needs upgrading. That's why he bought this. Texas, given the recent freeze, probably will offer business to XYL to repair/upgrade their water infrastructure.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 09/20, Up 24%) Utilities represent half their revenue, and this stream is quite resilient. Secular theme that water is scarce. One of the most direct plays into the water industry. Price is fully valued. Wait for a pullback to put in new money.

BUY
Pure water business. Water as a general category is a scarce resource, so a long term secular growth theme. XYL is one of the few publicly traded companies in that sector. Faster recovery from Covid than anticipated. Continues to like it.

TOP PICK
Clean water is mega-trend around the world, an issue Canada takes for granted. But around the world, governments need to upgrade water infrastructure, which Xylem does. (Analysts’ price target is $79.59)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 11/18, Up 20%) A water treatment company that test, transports and treats water. They are seeing growth in existing and emerging markets. They acquired a metering company a couple of years ago that can add to their reoccurring revenues. Clean water is a scarce resource and there are not many publicly traded companies in the space. A good buy here.

TOP PICK
One of the few pure water plays, testing water in North America and emerging markets. The latter are building their water infrastructure. In North America, they repair and upgrades which are rising. Also, they bought a smart-metering company that utilities can use to improve efficiency. Now is an attractive entry point with secular growth. (Analysts’ price target is $81.67)

BUY
Water infrastructure company. Has done pretty well, small dividend at 1.15%, definitively more on the growth side. Aging water infrastructures. Water is such a crucial issue. Thinks its positioned to do really well. Wouldn't have any problem buying it at this price. (Analysts’ price target is $80.71)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
She has owned this for a number of years. It treats, tests and transports water for many utilities. They have 20% of their business in emerging markets. Water is a scarce resource and she sees this a good long term hold. She might not chase it here and would buy on a pullback.

BUY
Likes it and continues to hold it, given a strong long-term outlook. Customers are utilities, commercial industries and industrial companies. Water infrastructure is still being built up with aging systems in parts of the world needing updating. XYL is well-managed. They bought a company in the metering side.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
She'd wait for a pullback. Likes their longterm fundamentals. They have 20% in emerging markets where they are building water infrastructure. They're enjoying good growth in American cities. They made a few acquisitions in water metering to track water spillage, which is a big issue in this business.

BUY
Pure play on water. They transport and treat and test water. As a scarce resource this is a good long term play. They tend to operate locally. At this level after the pullback they are adding to clients' portfolios. Good entry point.

TOP PICK
A pure water player--transpor and treat water, a scare commodity. It's pulled back to a good entry point now. Good growth in the U.S. where they refurbish their water infrastructure Emerging markets are 20% of their revenues where they are still building their infrastructure, so that's another plus. (Analysts’ price target is $78.47)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
It got ahead of itself above $80 so she wasn't surprised it pulled back. You can buy it on weakness. She likes the water sector and this is a pure-water play. 20% of revenues are in emerging markets which are still building water infrastructure. XYL has local operations there and growing demand in the U.S. She likes this long-term, because water is a scare resource.
