• Xylem sells the pumps, treatment systems, smart meters, and services that move and clean water, and the demand sits on a long secular tailwind: scarcity, aging infrastructure, and regulation, with the company reaching municipal customers through channel partners and offering ⟦"filtration and separation, disinfection, and wastewater solutions"⟧ across its segments. • The defining risk is the price, not the business: at roughly 26 times operating income the market embeds about 24.9% annual opera
