Frequently asked questions
What is Xylem Inc's revenue?
Xylem Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $9.09B, and consensus projects about $11.52B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is XYL?
In its most recent fiscal year, XYL ran a gross margin of 38.46%, an operating margin of 13.54%, and a net margin of 10.59%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does XYL generate?
XYL produced $910.00M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is XYL's balance sheet healthy?
XYL holds $1.48B in cash and equivalents against $1.41B in long-term debt, on $11.48B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
