Price vs Fundamentals
Why The Stock Is Moving
What changed
The stock fell 12.79% over the last year. Revenue grew 5.75% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 11.99% to 13.6%. Free cash flow grew 8.66% over the trailing twelve months.
What the market seems to be pricing
Visible fundamentals weakened far less than the stock price, and the shares now sit around the 33rd percentile of their historical P/FCF range. That looks more like a rerating of the multiple than a collapse in the business.
What would invalidate this read
This read changes if operating margin (currently 13.6%) continues to decline, or if revenue growth turns negative. The bull case requires the business to hold its current trajectory.
Company profile
Xylem Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, manufacture, and servicing of engineered products and solutions for the water and wastewater applications in the United States, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and internationally.
