FELE - Xylem Worth Another Look After A Big Valuation Reset
- Supply chain issues have led to materially weaker near-term results and guidance, and are likely playing a meaningful role in the recent deflation of Xylem's robust valuation multiples.
- Xylem management doesn't really have many good options for quickly resolving the electronic components sourcing issues, but underlying demand is healthy in utility and industrial markets.
- The company still offers good leverage to pain points in water quality, including testing, treatment, wastewater management, and monitoring.
- The right forward multiple on Xylem is certainly debatable, but the shares look much more interesting on underlying assumptions of mid-to-high single-digit revenue and FCF growth.
