Xylem Inc. (US98419M1009) lowered its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to USD 8.95 billion and announced portfolio changes on October 27, 2026. The company reported third-quarter revenue of USD 2.20 billion, down 3.00 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.44. Business Wire carried the release.

Guidance moves lower

The revised revenue outlook compares with earlier guidance for reported growth of 2.00 percent. Xylem also cut its adjusted earnings-per-share range to USD 5.40-5.45 from USD 5.55-5.70, while its expected adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 23.20 percent.

The quarter contained a clear split. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 23.90 percent, up 70 basis points year over year, but project timing and cautious customer spending weighed on revenue. Orders reached USD 2.30 billion, up 7.00 percent on a reported basis and 10.00 percent organically.

What does the reset mean?

The planned divestitures of Applied Water International and Specialty Flow Control are intended to concentrate capital on selected water technologies. Beginning January 1, 2027, Xylem plans to move from four segments to three: Treatment and Services, Flow Solutions, and Measurement and Analytics, according to Business Wire.

Three dated signals

On July 28, 2026, Xylem lifted its full-year adjusted earnings guidance to USD 5.55-5.70 while trimming its revenue outlook, as reported by RTTNews. On October 19, 2026, JPMorgan cut its price target from USD 137.00 to USD 118.00, according to MarketScreener. On October 27, 2026, Xylem reported third-quarter results and announced its restructuring plan.

Dates for the new structure

The three-segment organization is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027, with Treatment and Services, Flow Solutions, and Measurement and Analytics replacing the current four-segment structure.

Stock after the results

Xylem's operating performance improved even as the revenue outlook weakened. Investors therefore have two figures to weigh: the 23.90 percent adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter and the lower USD 8.95 billion full-year revenue forecast.
