Yahoo Finance Xylem Keeps Growing, Shares Keep Rising
The water and wastewater treatment company is growing and beat consensus revenue estimates in each of the last four quarters. Part of the revenue success comes from acquisitions, which contributed $480 million in 2024’s first quarter. XYL also rewards shareholders with a healthy and growing dividend, which currently yields 1.01%.
So, it’s not surprising that XYL shares have flown up 25% this year – and there could be even more room to grow!
Based on MAPsignals data, investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
