Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Xylem Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 22.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 8% a year, against analyst forecasts of 12%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
