Action:DowngradedDate:04/01/26
The score is driven by solid underlying financials and cash generation plus constructive 2026 guidance (growth, margin expansion, strong FCF conversion). Offsetting factors are weak technical trend signals and balance-sheet leverage/interest-cost sensitivity, with valuation generally supportive.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow conversion
Very high FCF conversion (roughly 15% of sales and ~98% conversion) provides durable internal funding for capex, buybacks, debt paydown and working capital. This steady cash generation supports operational resilience and gives management room to invest or accelerate deleveraging over multiple quarters.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage
Debt materially exceeds equity and remains a persistent constraint on flexibility. Higher leverage increases sensitivity to interest-cost moves, limits capacity for large M&A or cyclical buffer, and means deleveraging must rely on sustained strong cash generation over many quarters rather than quick fixes.

Vontier Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call reflected solid execution and multiple clear positives: strong cash generation (>$460M FCF), improved leverage (2.3x), meaningful product and commercial momentum (Invenco ~22% organic growth, unified payment win, DRB inflection), and a credible plan to drive $15M of incremental savings and ~80 bps of margin expansion in 2026. Near-term headwinds include a $4M inventory reserve at Invenco, one-time corporate healthcare costs, Mobility Tech margin pressure in the quarter, Repair Solutions softness, and a slightly sub-1 book-to-bill. Management emphasized constructive end-market dynamics (notably convenience retail and fueling) and provided conservative, achievable guidance with second-half weighting.Positive Updates
Quarterly and Full-Year Revenue Growth
Q4 core growth of 5%; full-year organic sales grew nearly 4%, demonstrating overall revenue resilience across the portfolio.
Negative Updates
One-Time Invenco Inventory Reserve

Company Guidance
Vontier guided full-year 2026 sales of $3.10–$3.15 billion, implying roughly 3% core growth at the midpoint (EFS low‑ to mid‑single digits, Mobility Technologies mid‑single digits, Repair Solutions flattish) and about 80 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion at the midpoint. Management expects $15 million of incremental in‑year cost savings (majority implemented in Q1, ramping into H2), adjusted EPS of $3.35–$3.50 (high‑single‑digit y/y growth) with share repurchases under $50 million, and adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~95% (≈15% of sales). Q1 guidance was $730–$740 million of sales with ~1% core growth at the midpoint, EPS of $0.78–$0.81 and relatively flat margins; they expect H1 to be just over 48% of sales and ~47% of EPS, noted ~1.3% average price increases, and flagged modest interest step‑ups beginning in Q2.Vontier Financial Statement Overview
