CluenexITT Inc ITT
ITT Inc scores good on business quality (6.2 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What ITT Inc does
ITT manufactures engineered components like industrial pumps, valves, and brake pads for aerospace, rail, and energy markets, making money by selling mission-critical hardware where failure is not an option. The company is leaning into specialized industrial applications to capture higher-margin project wins across global infrastructure markets.
- What it does best
ITT dominates harsh-environment pump and valve markets where switching out installed equipment risks catastrophic failure. Its operating margin of 14.9% tops peer OTIS at 15.8% on certain metrics while locking in industrial clients through proprietary designs.
- The main risk
Supply chain cost inflation and delayed project spending in global energy and rail markets threaten volume growth. If capital expenditure freezes, high-end industrial component orders face immediate deferral.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Gross margin sits at 35.2% and operating margin reaches 14.9%, showing stable core profitability. The business retains sound cash conversion with $509 million in free cash flow, translating scale into reliable cash generation.
Switching costs form a durable moat by locking in industrial and aerospace clients who cannot risk swapping out certified pumps or brake systems. Its revenue growth ranks in the top quartile of its sector at the 70th percentile.
Revenue grew 8.5% to $4.7 billion, accelerating from prior years as demand for industrial machinery picks up across core manufacturing segments.
With net cash of $960 million and interest coverage of 6.9x, the balance sheet absorbs shocks easily. Free cash flow hit $509 million, leaving the financial foundation firmly secure.
