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.

This was a spin out from ITT Corp in 2011. They make water equipment and sources to the water industry. Their products encompass anywhere from water transportation (pumps, valves, controls), treatment and testing. Their end markets include municipalities, utilities, industrial clients, building services, commercial clients, and even the agricultural industry. 70% of the globe is made up of water, but only 1% is actually drinkable or potable. There is the issue of emerging markets, where they are still building out their water infrastructure. In the developed markets, there is the problem of aging infrastructure which needs replacement. Dividend yield of 1.26%. (Analysts’ price target is $53.58.)
