Xylem Inc.XYLHOLDNov 10, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
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.
Based out of the US. They do water transportation, treatment and tests. There are not a lot of companies that focus in this space. She still likes it. The stock has done well, so the valuation is not as attractive as when she had purchased this in January. Emerging markets are about 20% of revenues and they are still building out their water infrastructures. In developed markets the water infrastructure is very old and needs to be updated.
