Did ITT Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
ITT Inc. closed out fiscal 2025 on a high note, posting Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.85 against a consensus estimate of $1.78, a 3.93% beat, while revenue of $1.05 billion topped expectations by 5.37% and grew 13.5% year-over-year, marking what CEO Luca Savi called a "milestone" year for the company. The outperformance was anchored by broad segment strength, with Industrial Process leading the way on pump project momentum and contributions from the Svanehøj acquisition, while Connect & Control Technologies benefited from firm aerospace and defense demand and Motion Technologies posted double-digit gains on friction OE and aftermarket strength. Free cash flow surged to $555.40 million for the full year, hitting ITT's 2030 Capital Markets Day target five years ahead of schedule, a testament to the company's <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/12/09/itt-has-raised-its-dividend-for-14-years-and-retains-77-of-profits/">disciplined capital generation</a> over time. Looking ahead, ITT guided Q1 2026 to roughly 11% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.68 to $1.72, with the pending SPX FLOW acquisition, expected to close in Q1 2026, set to further reshape its industrial portfolio toward higher-margin businesses. Analysts lifted their price targets following the report, with at least one firm maintaining a Buy rating and a $245 target.

“2025 was a milestone. We delivered exceptional cash flow and outstanding profitable growth, all in all a strong start to the next ITT chapter as outlined at Capital Markets Day. We grew orders 10% and revenue 8% whilst continuing to expand margin. Our teams furthered ITT's differentiation in the market thanks to their disciplined execution across all three segments as well as the investments we made in innovation that powered new product introductions.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q1 2026 (excluding SPX FLOW impact): revenue growth of roughly 11%, up 5% on an organic basis; operating margin of approximately 18% and adjusted operating margin greater than 18%, up approximately 100 bps; GAAP EPS of $1.67 to $1.71 and adjusted EPS of $1.68 to $1.72. The pending SPX FLOW acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2026 and will accelerate ITT's strategic shift toward higher-growth, higher-margin businesses.
