▲(10.12% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:02/06/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (steady growth, low leverage, solid returns and cash generation) and supportive earnings-call guidance for continued growth and margin expansion. Technicals confirm an uptrend but show stretched momentum (high RSI), while valuation is the main restraint due to a higher P/E and low dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Conservative balance sheet & ratings
ITT's low trailing leverage, sizable equity base and strong ROE provide durable financial flexibility. Investment-grade ratings and conservative capital structure support continued M&A optionality, dividend growth and resilience through industrial cycles, reducing refinancing risk over 2–6 months.
Robust free cash flow and conversion
Sustained high FCF and cash conversion enable repeatable capital returns, deleveraging and funding of strategic deals. Growing free cash flow supports the company’s buybacks and dividend increases and underpins long-term earnings quality despite periodic working-capital swings.
Accretive M&A improving margins
Recent acquisitions have demonstrably increased scale and margins; management expects SPX Flow to be accretive with multi-year synergies. This M&A-driven margin expansion can structurally shift portfolio mix toward higher-growth, higher‑margin industrial process offerings.
Negative Factors
SPX Flow integration & equity dilution risk
Large transaction and recent equity raise increase near-term execution and capital-structure risk. Integration complexity, deferred accounting changes and short-term share count dilution can pressure EPS and distract management, creating multi-quarter uncertainty for realized synergies.
Historical cash-flow volatility
Although FCF is strong recently, historic swings (e.g., negative 2021 conversion) show working-capital or one-time impacts can rapidly reverse cash generation. In downside cycles this variability can impair capacity to fund dividends, buybacks or rapid deleveraging after acquisitions.
Cyclicality and order lumpiness
Exposure to auto markets and large engineered-project timing makes revenue and margins uneven across periods. Lumpy orders and a slightly weaker IP funnel increase forecasting risk and can mute sustained margin progress if end markets soften or large project awards delay.

ITT Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 05, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a strong tone: broad-based revenue and EPS growth, margin expansion, significant free cash flow generation, record quarterly scale, and successful recent acquisitions—offset by near-term dilution from the December equity raise, one-time divestiture impacts, some lumpy/orderly project risk, and expected modest cyclicality in automotive. Management provided a constructive outlook (mid-single-digit organic revenue for 2026, at least 50 bps margin expansion, and SPX Flow accretion) while acknowledging integration work and that some exceptional 2025 growth rates may not fully repeat.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Full-Year Revenue and Organic Growth
Total revenue grew 8% in 2025 with 5% organic growth, demonstrating broad top-line expansion across the company.
Earnings and Margin Expansion
Full-year EPS grew 14% (18% excluding a $0.16 Wolverine divestiture impact and $0.03 dilution from the December equity offering). Operating income rose 11% and adjusted operating margin expanded 40 basis points to 18.2%.
Strong Q4 Performance — Record Scale
In Q4, ITT delivered over $1 billion in both orders and revenue for the first time. Q4 orders grew 15% (9% organic) and revenue grew 13% (9% organic). Q4 operating margin expanded 90 basis points to 18.4%, and EPS was $1.85 (up 23% excluding equity raise dilution).
Free Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Free cash flow exceeded $550 million (up 27% year-over-year), free cash flow margin improved to 14% (up 200 basis points), cash conversion was well over 100%, and the company deployed $500 million to share repurchases during 2025.
Orders, Backlog and Book-to-Bill Strength
Orders grew 10% to $4.0 billion (5% organic), and backlog ended at $1.9 billion (up 18% year-over-year). Management highlighted book-to-bill greater than one at SPX Flow and robust backlog growth there as well.
Successful Integration and Acquisitions Driving Margin
Recent acquisitions (Svanehøj and Kessler) expanded margins versus prior year; Svanehøj grew >50% in Q4 and Kessler contributed meaningfully. Management expects SPX Flow to be accretive (net single-digit EPS accretion for full-year 2026) and outlined ~$80 million of synergies over three years (G&A, procurement, footprint opportunities).
Operational Improvements and Quality & Safety Gains
Operational KPIs improved: IP reduced recordable incidents by 50%; IP had 20% fewer quality claims; CCT achieved a 60% TPM reduction; on-time delivery in IP improved 600 basis points and a specific NC pump product line improved 2,700 basis points in December—all contributing to margin expansion.
Segment Highlights and End-Market Wins
Notable wins include: CCT orders up 40% organic in Q4 (connectors +20%, controls +70%, aftermarket +35%), IP pump projects up 30% organically, KONI defense orders grew >70% in 2025 and approach $15M in orders, and Friction OE outperformed global vehicle production by 400 basis points with aftermarket +9%.
Negative Updates
Equity Raise and EPS Dilution in Near Term
A December equity offering to fund the SPX Flow acquisition increased share count (86 million shares referenced) and produced a dilutive impact (~$0.03) on EPS; Q1 guidance excludes SPX accounting changes and includes dilution from the raise.
Wolverine Divestiture Headwind
The Wolverine divestiture reduced EPS by $0.16 for the year, representing a tangible one-time headwind to reported results.
SPX Flow Integration and Near-Term Uncertainty
The pending SPX Flow acquisition (expected close in March) introduces integration complexity and timing uncertainty. Management expects most commercial (revenue) synergies to materialize beyond 2026 and is deferring certain accounting (amortization exclusion) changes until after close.
Sustainability of Exceptional Segment Growth
Some outsized growth is unlikely to be repeatable: Svanehøj orders grew ~44% in 2025 and management noted that such high growth will be difficult to replicate; reliance on strong one-off project wins can make year-to-year comps lumpy.
Cyclicality in Automotive and Motion Exposure
Management expects global vehicle production to be flat to slightly down in 2026 (Europe flattish; North America and China flat to low-single-digit declines), and Motion Technologies aftermarket and OE spares are expected to be roughly flat in 2026, limiting upside from auto markets.
Some Competitive and Funnel Variability
The IP sales funnel is slightly down year-over-year (though Q4 was stable vs Q3) and orders can be lumpy; motion segment experienced pricing pressure offset by raw-material disinflation, indicating potential continued commodity/price dynamics.
Company Guidance
Management guided Q1 2026 to strong year‑over‑year improvement, calling for total revenue growth of approximately 115% organically (driven by mid‑single‑digit growth in IP and CCT, low‑single‑digit growth in MT and four more selling days), all segments expanding margin to deliver over 100 basis points of EBIT margin improvement, and Q1 EPS of $1.70 at the midpoint (management said this is up ~29% excluding the December equity offering and was also characterized as ~17% EPS growth at midpoint), with Svanehøj and Kessler expected to improve profitability and the quarter reflecting a share count of ~86 million, a flat tax rate and higher corporate expenses; for full‑year 2026 ITT expects mid‑single‑digit organic revenue growth, at least 50 basis points of margin expansion, and — assuming the SPX Flow close in March — management still estimates net single‑digit EPS accretion from SPX for full‑year 2026 (Q1 guidance excludes SPX accretion and amortization accounting will be revised after close).

ITT Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong overall fundamentals with consistent revenue growth, healthy profitability, and a conservatively positioned balance sheet with very low leverage and solid ROE. Offsets include some TTM margin compression versus 2024 and historical cash-flow volatility (notably weak 2021 cash conversion) despite currently robust and improving free cash flow.
Income Statement
82
Very Positive
Revenue has grown consistently from 2021–2024, and is up again in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), supporting a solid growth trajectory. Profitability is healthy: gross margin improved versus earlier years and remains strong in TTM, and operating profitability is consistently positive. The main offset is some margin compression in TTM versus 2024 (notably lower net margin and EBITDA margin), suggesting a slightly less favorable mix or cost pressure despite higher sales.
Balance Sheet
90
Very Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively positioned, with very low leverage in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) and a sizable equity base. Returns on equity are strong and stable across recent periods, indicating good profit generation on shareholder capital. The key watch item is the year-to-year swing in debt levels (higher in 2024, much lower in TTM), which may reflect capital structure changes that can create comparability noise, though overall leverage remains low.
Cash Flow
79
Positive
Cash generation is a clear strength: operating cash flow and free cash flow are robust in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), and free cash flow is growing. Free cash flow consistently represents a large portion of net income, which supports earnings quality. The drawback is variability over the cycle—2021 showed negative operating and free cash flow—indicating working-capital or one-time cash swings can materially impact cash conversion in weaker periods.
