Description: VLTO Veralto December 17, 2025

Veralto Corporation (NYSE:VLTO) delivers water-focused analytics and treatment solutions alongside marking, coding, and packaging-color technologies. It operates through two distinct segments: Water Quality (WQ), which sells precision instruments, chemical reagents, digital services and treatment systems under brands such as Hach, Trojan Technologies, and ChemTreat; and Product Quality & Innovation (PQI), which offers marking/coding hardware, software for digital asset and product information management, inline printing, design software, and color-management services via Videojet, Linx, Esko, X-Rite, and Pantone.

Key market signals that could influence Veralto’s outlook include: (1) the global water-analytics market is projected to grow at a ~6% CAGR through 2030, driven by tightening regulations and rising water-scarcity concerns; (2) Veralto reported FY-2023 revenue of roughly $1.1 billion, with the WQ segment contributing about 68% and posting a 5% YoY growth despite a modest slowdown in industrial capital-expenditure; and (3) ESG-linked procurement is accelerating demand for traceable, low-impact packaging, a trend that directly benefits the PQI segment’s color-management and digital asset solutions.
