Company Overview

ITT Inc. operates through three main industrial platforms: CCT for components and connectors used in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications; Motion Technologies for friction systems and KONI products related to vehicles, rail, and defense; and Flow Technologies for pumps, valves, mixers, and applications in energy, marine, hygienic, and pharmaceutical industries. The scope of Flow Technologies expanded following the acquisition of SPX FLOW on March 2, 2026, while Svanehøj supports the marine energy transition and kSARIA serves defense programs that include advanced night vision and fighter aircraft applications.

In Q2 of fiscal 2026, ITT recorded revenue of $1.5 billion, gross profit of $510.1 million, net income of $84.9 million, and EDGAR EPS of $0.95. These figures represent a gross margin of approximately 34.0% and a net income margin of approximately 5.7%, while the company reported adjusted EPS of $2.08, up 18% year over year. Reported revenue increased 51% and organic revenue increased 13%, while operating income grew 55% and adjusted operating margin expanded 40 basis points.

Organic growth came from all segments: CCT revenue increased 17% organically, Motion Technologies revenue increased 2% organically, and Flow Technologies revenue increased 21% organically. Operating margin reached 21.7% in CCT, 21.1% in Motion Technologies, and 21.4% in Flow Technologies; however, the inclusion of SPX FLOW for a full quarter reduced Flow Technologies margin by 160 basis points, despite a 70-basis-point expansion in the margin of the legacy Flow Technologies business.

What's Driving the Stock

  • On August 6, 2026, ITT raised its fiscal 2026 organic revenue growth guidance range to 5%–8% and increased the midpoint of its adjusted EPS guidance to $8.22, representing 14% growth and a $0.37 increase from the previous guidance.
  • CCT orders increased 59% organically in Q2 of fiscal 2026, driven by a 168% increase in kSARIA orders and a 38% increase in connector orders. Management stated that the backlog for the next few quarters was clearly above its level a year earlier and that some kSARIA programs provide visibility through 2028 and beyond.
  • Flow Technologies achieved organic revenue growth of 21%, including a 45% increase in pump project sales and 19% growth in the valves business due to gains in biopharmaceutical industries. Svanehøj also achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3, and management expects its backlog at the end of fiscal 2026 to be 40% higher than at the time of acquisition.
  • SPX FLOW revenue grew 5% in Q2 of fiscal 2026 and 9% year to date, with a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.13. Mixer orders increased 23%, Waukesha Cherry-Burrell orders increased 10%, and Nutrition & Health orders increased 8%, while management said cost savings were progressing faster than planned.
  • Liquidity and deleveraging supported the company's flexibility; year-to-date free cash flow reached $176 million, and ITT repaid $124 million of debt during Q2 of fiscal 2026, reducing leverage to 2.5 times six months ahead of the original schedule. The company raised the midpoint of its fiscal 2026 free cash flow guidance to $565 million while targeting leverage of approximately 2.3 times by the end of the fiscal year.

Buying & Selling Case

▲ Buying Case4 pts

  • +The order mix provides tangible support for growth, as ITT's total orders increased 53% and organic orders increased 13%, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 in Q2 of fiscal 2026, while CCT recorded a strong ratio of 1.4.
  • +kSARIA and Svanehøj demonstrate the ability of acquisitions to expand addressable markets; ITT expects kSARIA's backlog to have grown 180% since the acquisition by the end of fiscal 2026 and Svanehøj to achieve average annual revenue growth of 32% from the acquisition through the end of fiscal 2026.
  • +The profitability of the legacy businesses improved alongside growth, with CCT margin expanding 100 basis points to 21.7%, Motion Technologies margin increasing 90 basis points to 21.1%, and the legacy Flow Technologies margin expanding 70 basis points.
  • +The increase in all key guidance metrics reinforces the credibility of the operating momentum: organic growth of 5%–8%, an adjusted operating margin of approximately 20.5% at the midpoint with expansion exceeding 100 basis points, adjusted EPS of $8.22 at the midpoint, and free cash flow of $565 million at the midpoint for fiscal 2026.

Valuation

The analyst consensus is "Buy," with an average price target of $250.86 and a relatively wide range of $229 to $273. The lowest target is near the 52-week range high of $230.32, while the average exceeds that high by approximately 8.9%, reflecting expectations that the increase in fiscal 2026 guidance and SPX FLOW savings will produce results above the historical peak within this range. Conversely, pressure on Flow Technologies margin, deferred orders in the Middle East, and acquisition expenses make the execution of these expectations an important condition for justifying analyst targets.

FAQ

What were ITT's key results in Q2 of fiscal 2026?

ITT recorded revenue of $1.5 billion, gross profit of $510.1 million, and net income of $84.9 million. EDGAR EPS was approximately $0.95, while management-reported adjusted EPS was $2.08, up 18% year over year. Revenue increased 51% overall and 13% organically, while operating income grew 55% and margin expanded 40 basis points.

Why were CCT and kSARIA orders strong in Q2 of fiscal 2026?

CCT orders increased 59% organically, and kSARIA orders grew 168% due to multiyear defense bookings. The cited programs included advanced night vision and fighter aircraft applications, while connector orders increased 38% across North America, Europe, and Asia. Management said on August 6, 2026, that kSARIA also recorded record orders in July and that some programs provide visibility through 2028 and beyond.

How does the acquisition of SPX FLOW affect ITT's results?

ITT acquired SPX FLOW on March 2, 2026, and its inclusion for a full quarter contributed to reported revenue growth during Q2 of fiscal 2026. SPX FLOW revenue grew 5% in the quarter and 9% year to date, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.13. Conversely, SPX FLOW reduced Flow Technologies margin by 160 basis points, but management said cost savings were progressing ahead of plan and maintained its expected fiscal 2026 EPS contribution at $0.10–$0.14.

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

  • −Organic growth may slow in the second half of fiscal 2026 compared with the first half; management pointed to more difficult year-over-year comparisons, four fewer operating days in Q4 of fiscal 2026, Motion Technologies seasonality, and early customer shutdowns in December.
  • −Deferred orders in the Middle East pose a risk to Flow Technologies revenue over the next few quarters; despite strong backlog execution in the first half, Flow Technologies organic orders declined 3% in Q2 of fiscal 2026, and management anticipated subsequent regional weakness in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
  • −The integration of SPX FLOW continues to pressure margins, as Flow Technologies margin declined 160 basis points to 21.4% due to a full-quarter contribution from SPX FLOW, with the dilution slightly greater than management expected. The anticipated improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2026 depends on realizing cost savings and increasing productivity, while management acknowledged that operational improvement practices have not yet been fully embedded within production cells.
  • −Motion Technologies faces inflationary pressures that are not fully recovered through pricing, unlike CCT and Flow Technologies, which have stronger pricing power. Management expects Motion Technologies margin to remain stable in the second half after reaching 21.1%, limiting the scope for expansion if cost pressures persist.
  • −Acquisitions and financing remain financial burdens to monitor; year-to-date free cash flow in fiscal 2026 was affected by $71 million of nonrecurring acquisition expenses, and leverage stood at 2.5 times after the repayment of $124 million of debt. Most of SPX FLOW's contribution to EPS growth was also offset by additional interest, a higher share count, and the tax rate.
  • −The target valuation incorporates high execution expectations, with the average analyst price target at $250.86, approximately 8.9% above the 52-week range high of $230.32, while the highest target reaches $273. Approaching these targets requires continued order growth, improvement in SPX FLOW's margin, and deleveraging according to plan; therefore, any setback in these areas could lead to a reassessment of expectations.
What is ITT's updated guidance for fiscal 2026?

ITT raised its organic revenue growth range to 5%–8% on August 6, 2026. The company is targeting an adjusted operating margin of approximately 20.5% at the midpoint, representing expansion of more than 100 basis points, and adjusted EPS of $8.22 at the midpoint. It also raised the midpoint of its free cash flow guidance to $565 million, equivalent to a free cash flow margin of between 10% and 11%.

What are the main operating risks facing ITT after Q2 of fiscal 2026?

Some Middle East orders were deferred, which management said could pressure regional growth over the next few quarters despite strong execution in the first half. The inclusion of SPX FLOW also diluted Flow Technologies margin by 160 basis points, and subsequent improvement depends on cost savings and productivity. In Motion Technologies, pricing does not fully recover cost inflation, while second-half factors include tougher comparisons and four fewer operating days in Q4 of fiscal 2026.

How do ITT's balance sheet and cash flows look in fiscal 2026?

Year-to-date free cash flow in fiscal 2026 was approximately $176 million and was affected by $71 million of nonrecurring acquisition expenses. The company repaid $124 million of debt in Q2 of fiscal 2026, reducing leverage to 2.5 times six months ahead of the original schedule. Management is targeting approximately 2.3 times by the end of fiscal 2026, while keeping debt repayment and the realization of SPX FLOW savings among its capital allocation priorities.
