In the past three months, shares of Xylem have lost 12.2%, in line with the industry’s decline.
Key Factors at Play
Xylem is anticipated to have benefited from the strength in residential, industrial and commercial markets in the first quarter. Healthy contract wins, strengthening test business in emerging markets and rising demand for water solutions are likely to have boosted its clean water utilities business’ performance in the quarter. Strength across the company’s wastewater utilities business, driven by a solid demand environment, is also likely to have supported its top line. However, the persistence of supply-chain challenges, cost inflation and logistic issues are expected to have adversely impacted its margin and profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.
Xylem’s strong backlog level, product innovation measures and efforts to boost growth are likely to have been beneficial in the first quarter. Also, its focus on operational execution is expected to have helped it maintain a solid margin performance in the quarter.
For first-quarter 2022, the company expects organic revenues to be flat to up 2% year over year. Coming to the segments, the company anticipates its organic sales of both Water Infrastructure and Applied Water Systems to grow in mid-single digits, whereas that for the Measurement & Control Solutions segment to decline in low-double digits in the quarter.
For the Water Infrastructure segment, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $517 million, implying a 1.6% increase year over year. Revenue estimates for Applied Water are pegged at $403 million, suggesting a 2.5% increase from year-ago quarter’s reported number. Measurement & Control Solutions’ revenues are expected to be $305 million, suggesting a decrease of 13.8%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues of $1,247 million suggests a 0.7% decrease from the year-ago reported figure. Earnings estimates are pegged at 42 cents per share, suggesting a fall of 25%.
