Description: XYL Xylem September 29, 2025
Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL) designs, manufactures, and services engineered water-related products for utility, industrial, residential, and commercial markets worldwide. The firm operates through four segments: Water Infrastructure; Applied Water; Measurement & Control Solutions; and Water Solutions & Services, leveraging brands such as Flygt, Ionpure, Wallace & Tiernan, Rule, Bell & Gossett, Sensus, and Xylem Vue.
In FY 2023 the company generated approximately $5.6 billion in revenue, a 10 % year-over-year increase, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 22 %. Recurring revenue from smart-metering and data-analytics services now represents about 15 % of total sales, underscoring the shift toward subscription-based, high-margin offerings.
Key macro drivers include rising global water-infrastructure spending (estimated CAGR ≈ 5 % through 2028), stricter ESG regulations that push utilities toward energy-efficient pumps and digital monitoring, and climate-related resilience investments that boost demand for flood-control and wastewater-treatment solutions. Xylem’s exposure to both capital-intensive infrastructure projects and recurring SaaS-type services gives it a diversified revenue profile.
