Xylem's stock experienced a significant pre-market plunge of 5.84% on Tuesday, despite the company reporting better-than-expected fourth-quarter results.
The water technology company reported Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $1.42, beating analyst estimates of $1.41, and revenue of $2.4 billion, exceeding expectations of $2.374 billion. However, investor sentiment turned negative following the company's 2026 revenue guidance.
Xylem projected full-year 2026 revenue in the range of $9.1 billion to $9.2 billion, which fell short of the FactSet estimate of $9.32 billion. This weaker-than-expected growth outlook appears to be the primary driver behind the pre-market selloff, overshadowing the positive Q4 earnings beat.
