ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) reported robust financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, capping off a year of exceptional execution across multiple fronts.

ITT's Q4 2024 results demonstrate exceptional execution across multiple fronts, with strong revenue growth, margin expansion, and cash flow generation. The company's strategic portfolio transformation, particularly the acquisitions of Svanehøj and kSARIA, has significantly enhanced its growth profile and positioned it for sustained profitable growth. ITT's ability to meet or exceed its 2025 guidance will depend on its ability to maintain operational efficiency, focus on higher-margin segments, and navigate macroeconomic uncertainties.
