Based on Wall Street analysts' forecasts, the average target price for Xylem (XYL) is $140.59, with a high estimate of $164.00 and a low estimate of $118.22.

GuruFocus estimates the GF Value for Xylem (XYL) to be $128.48 in one year, suggesting a downside of 1.89% from the current price of $130.95 [1].
Xylem's Q1 results exceeded expectations, driven by resilient demand and a book-to-bill ratio above 1. The company achieved revenue growth across all segments and delivered a 120 basis points expansion in EBITDA margin, resulting in double-digit EPS growth. Xylem reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance for both revenue and earnings per share, indicating confidence in its business outlook [2].
However, the company faced some challenges, such as a slight decrease in orders in the Water Solutions and Services segment and a decline in EBITDA margin in the Measurement & Control Solutions segment due to energy water mix challenges. Xylem also anticipates some demand falloff in the second half of the year due to pricing actions and evolving trade dynamics [2].
Xylem Inc. (XYL) is scheduled to announce its fiscal Q2 earnings before the market opens on Tuesday, Jul. 31. Analysts project the company to report a profit of $1.14 per share, up 4.6% from $1.09 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company holds a solid track record of consistently surpassing or meeting Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in the last four quarterly reports [2].
