For investors of record on July 6, 2026, the company paid a dividend of 0.73 USD per share on July 24, 2026, corresponding to an annualized payout of 2.92 USD and a dividend yield of about 1.3% at the 223.71 USD opening price referenced by MarketBeat for the same period.

The MarketBeat valuation snapshot, based on a 223.71 USD share price, points to a price-to-earnings ratio of 32.19 and a PEG ratio of 2.54, combined with a beta of 0.98, signaling that the stock trades at a premium to many industrial peers but with volatility close to the broader market. TradingView’s current quote of 168.46 USD as of September 6, 2026, implies that the shares now trade below both the 50-day moving average of 228.71 USD and the 200-day moving average of 214.25 USD cited in the MarketBeat article, reflecting the price development since the time of that snapshot.

From a longer-term perspective, TradingView notes that IDEX Corporation reached an all-time high of 246.36 USD on March 22, 2024, while the all-time low of 1.90 USD dates back to January 9, 1991. With today’s 168.46 USD price, the stock stands significantly below its historical peak and more than 52% above its distant all-time low, a range that can help investors contextualize current valuations against the stock’s multi-decade trading history.

Its product portfolio includes positive-displacement pumps, flow meters, valves, sampling systems and analytical instruments serving end markets such as water treatment, chemical processing, energy, food and beverage and life sciences.
