Stephen Volkmann has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Veralto’s strong business quality, attractive valuation, and resilient fundamentals. He highlights that the company operates in water and product quality analytics with structurally high gross margins and a large recurring revenue base, yet its shares have recently underperformed the broader market and trade below historical valuation levels, creating a favorable entry point.
Moreover, Volkmann sees room for modest upside to management’s 2026 growth and margin outlook as secular demand for water solutions and stable packaging coding needs support volumes, while tariff and investment headwinds ease over time. He also notes that disciplined capital deployment, using robust free cash flow for acquisitions and buybacks, can further enhance earnings power by 2028, which, combined with a target multiple in line with other premium industrial peers, underpins his $110 price target and Buy recommendation.
Volkmann covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Caterpillar, Carrier Global, and Rockwell Automation. According to TipRanks, Volkmann has an average return of 19.6% and a 67.21% success rate on recommended stocks.
