Management expects ~2% of 2026 revenue to come from data centers, a relatively small but rapidly growing exposure, and sees this as an early indicator of a larger opportunity across the AI ecosystem (semiconductors, power, mining). — The AI buildout is creating new water demand across the supply chain, from chip fabs to power generation and mining, signaling long-term growth for water treatment providers.

"We view data centers as an early indicator of a larger opportunity across the AI ecosystem, where water is increasingly becoming a critical input to infrastructure development and industrial growth."

Although Evoqua is now part of Xylem, its integration is directly credited for enabling Xylem's growth and margin expansion in industrial markets.

"Importantly, this momentum reflects the stronger industrial platform we created through the Avoqua acquisition, which significantly expands our capabilities across treatment, reuse, and services."

Data center-related revenue is expected to grow ~200% in 2026 and exit the year at ~2% of total revenue, driven by wins with hyperscalers and HVAC OEMs. — Confirms the data center water cooling buildout is translating to orders for water infrastructure, signaling strong demand for thermal management solutions.

"We're already supporting data centers through wins with hyperscalers, HVAC OEMs, and infrastructure partners, and this year's revenue is expected to increase by approximately 200%."

China sales were down 27% in Q2 with orders down over 30%, leading Xylem to right-size and be more selective in the market as Chinese infrastructure spending shifts to AI and life sciences. — The sharp China downturn and selective bidding indicate a pricing/demand weakness in the Chinese water infrastructure market, posing challenges for industrial peers.

"Sales were... down almost 30%. And again, I think that's primarily reflecting ongoing economic headwinds within water infrastructure and applied water."

Xylem won a 20-year, $850 million outsourced water project with a major chemical company, beating the incumbent, signaling a shift toward integrated water management outsourcing. — This win displaces a competitor and demonstrates the growing market for comprehensive, service-led water outsourcing contracts, increasing competitive pressure on other chemical water treatment providers.

"We were selected over a long-term incumbent to secure a 20-year commitment. This opportunity brings together our advanced treatment technology, operations, maintenance, and digital monitoring under a single integrated model."

Management maintained full-year 2026 guidance despite strong Q1, citing macro uncertainty (Middle East conflict, tariffs, inflation) while expressing confidence in demand, back-half volume ramp, and margin expansion. The tone is cautiously optimistic, holding guidance rather than raising it.

"Despite the benefit from share purchases, we've chosen to keep our EPS range unchanged at $5.35 to $5.60, reflecting a prudent approach to guidance in an uncertain macro environment and not a change to our outlook for the year."

Orders in Measurement & Control Solutions (MCS) were up 15%, driven by smart metering demand in water, with progress on projects shifted out of Q4. Management expects double-digit orders growth for water throughout the year. — Strong smart water metering demand signals a healthy cycle for water utilities investing in AMI, which is positive for Xylem and its competitors in the space, indicating a potential growth period.

"Orders were up a robust 15% driven by smart metering demand in water as we made progress on the projects that shifted out of Q4. We expect double-digit orders growth for water throughout the balance of the year."

Bill Grogan

Guidance reflects continued margin expansion and earnings growth, but organic revenue growth is guided to the low end of the long-term framework due to deliberate 80-20 walkaways. Demand remains resilient, but management is signaling a year of transition with near-term top-line headwinds for higher quality earnings.

"The growth outlook by segment translates into 2026 full year revenue of $9.1 to $9.2 billion. resulting in revenue growth of 1% to 3% and organic revenue growth of 2% to 4%."
