Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability
52

Xylem Inc has an operating margin of 13.5%, meaning the company retains $14 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 52/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 11.8% the prior year.

Growth
43

Xylem Inc's revenue grew 5.5% year-over-year to $9.0B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 43/100.

Leverage
100

Xylem Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.12, meaning only $0.12 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
28

Xylem Inc's current ratio of 1.63 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 28/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Altman Z-Score Safe
4.13

Xylem Inc scores 4.13, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($29.2B) relative to total liabilities ($5.9B). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

6/9

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
