Description: WTS Watts Water Technologies November 03, 2025
Watts Water Technologies (NYSE: WTS) designs, manufactures, and sells fluid-control and energy-management solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings across the Americas, Europe, APAC, the Middle East, and Africa.
Its product portfolio spans backflow preventers, pressure regulators, thermostatic mixing valves, leak-detection systems, and emergency safety equipment, as well as HVAC and gas-related hardware such as commercial boilers, under-floor radiant heating components, hydronic pump groups, and stainless-steel gas connectors.
The company also offers drainage and water-reuse technologies-including engineered rain-water harvesting, connected roof-drain systems, and point-of-use/point-of-entry filtration and scale-prevention units-served through wholesale distributors, OEMs, specialty dealers, DIY retailers, and private-label partners.
In FY 2023 Watts generated $1.8 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 14%, reflecting steady demand from aging building stock retrofits and tightening water-conservation regulations; the sector’s growth is further buoyed by U.S. infrastructure spending forecasts that project $1 trillion in water-related capital projects over the next decade.
