Action:Reiterated
Date:05/09/26
The score is held back primarily by weak technicals (price below all key moving averages with negative MACD and very low RSI/Stoch). Fundamentals are solid-to-good with strong recent revenue growth and steady profitability, but leverage and inconsistent cash conversion temper the financial picture. Valuation (moderate P/E and ~3.3% yield) and a constructive earnings call with maintained guidance, margin-expansion targets, and buybacks provide support.
Positive Factors
Revenue acceleration & profitability
Sustained, large revenue acceleration coupled with mid-teens EBITDA and low-double-digit net margins indicates durable demand and operating leverage. This supports long-term cash generation, aftermarket growth, and resilience through cycles as topline scale helps absorb fixed costs and fund investment.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
Meaningful leverage reduces financial flexibility and increases sensitivity to interest costs and cyclical downturns. Even with improving trends, higher leverage can constrain M&A optionality, capital spending, and the ability to sustain buybacks or dividends if cash flow weakens over the next several quarters.

Vontier Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 07, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a generally constructive picture: revenue and order growth, strong performance in Environmental & Fueling Solutions, product launches and a successful Teletrac divestiture that improves portfolio focus and is margin-accretive. Management maintained full-year guidance (after adjusting for the divestiture), reiterated confidence in $15M of in-year savings, and emphasized buybacks and disciplined capital allocation. Offsetting these positives were a Q1 margin shortfall, pronounced margin pressure in Mobility Technologies (–260 bps) driven by mix and elevated R&D, softer adjusted free cash flow ($28M) due to timing, and some near-term top-line reduction from the Teletrac sale. Overall, the strategic actions, product momentum, and stable guidance outweighed the operational and timing headwinds.Positive Updates
Total Sales and Core Growth
Total sales of $751 million in Q1 with core sales growth of 1.7% (above company guide). Orders were up approximately 5% on a core basis, driven by strong demand for fueling equipment and retail solutions.
Negative Updates
Adjusted Operating Margin Miss and Q1 Shortfall
Adjusted operating profit margin fell short in Q1 (management noted a ~70 basis point shortfall vs. expectations), driven by unfavorable mix and timing of R&D and other operating expenses across Mobility Tech and Repair Solutions.

Company Guidance
Vontier reiterated full-year guidance after the planned Teletrac divestiture (expected to close in June) that trims about $110 million of sales to a midpoint just over $3.0 billion, while still targeting ~130 basis points of operating margin expansion to roughly 22.5% (which includes $15 million of in-year simplification savings) and an unchanged adjusted EPS range of $3.35–$3.50; the Teletrac deal (total consideration $220 million: $80M cash + $100M seller’s note, Vontier retaining ~30% equity) is roughly 50 bps accretive to margin but about $0.05 dilutive on a gross basis before interest and buyback offsets. They expect adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~95% (around 15% of sales) and assumed ~$150 million of share repurchases for the year (including $70M repurchased in Q1), finished Q1 with >$200M cash and 2.4x net leverage, and gave Q2 guidance of $730–$740M sales with core sales down ~1% at the midpoint, Q2 margin expansion of ~80 bps (≈20 bps from Teletrac; core business ≈+60 bps) and EPS of $0.78–$0.81 (including a $0.01 divestiture headwind).Vontier Financial Statement Overview
