IEX--
The company's Board of Directors has increased the share repurchase authorization to $1 billion, up from approximately $440 million as of June 30, 2025. This move underscores IDEX's commitment to returning value to shareholders. Eric D. Ashleman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This announcement highlights the confidence we have in our growth strategy and underscores our proven ability to consistently generate strong free cash flow. For the full year 2025, we expect to return at least 70% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases."
The Board also approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.71 per common share. This dividend, to be paid on October 24, 2025, represents the company's 124th consecutive regular quarterly cash dividend payment.

The company's product offerings include fluidic systems and components (40.1%), flow meters (36.738%), and fire monitoring and rescue systems (21.9%) [2].
