MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Saturday, August 30, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Xylem pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Xylem
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Xylem Inc.:

Xylem Inc. has recently reported strong quarterly earnings, exceeding analysts' expectations with earnings per share (EPS) of $1.26, which is a positive indicator of the company's financial health.
The current stock price is around $141.57, which is near its 12-month high of $145.33, suggesting strong market performance and potential for further growth.
Analysts have a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" for Xylem Inc., with an average price target of approximately $152.29, indicating potential upside for investors.
The company has a solid dividend yield of 1.1%, providing a steady income stream for investors, which is attractive in a low-interest-rate environment.
Xylem Inc. has shown a year-over-year revenue increase of 6.1%, reflecting its ability to grow and adapt in the industrial products sector.

Xylem
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Xylem Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has experienced fluctuations, recently trading down about 1.7%, which may indicate volatility and risk for potential investors.
Xylem Inc. has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 36.77, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17, which, while low, may limit its ability to leverage debt for growth opportunities compared to competitors with higher ratios.
Despite positive earnings, the market's reaction to the stock price can be unpredictable, and recent trading volumes have shown mixed activity, which may raise concerns about liquidity.
With a price-to-earnings-growth (PEG) ratio of 2.49, the stock may not be as attractive for growth investors looking for better value relative to its growth rate.
