Research dated 2026-09-13: Watts Water Technologies sells the controls and systems that manage water, heating, drainage, reuse and gas movement inside and around buildings, rather than general-purpose industrial machinery. The stock’s core question is whether expanding sales can continue to produce stronger profits and cash generation without the valuation outrunning that progress.

What is Watts Water Technologies (WTS), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Demand begins with plumbing and mechanical installations: backflow preventers, pressure regulators, safety and mixing valves, boilers, water heaters, radiant heating, drainage, reuse and filtration systems.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Demand begins with plumbing and mechanical installations: backflow preventers, pressure regulators, safety and mixing valves, boilers, water heaters, radiant heating, drainage, reuse and filtration systems. Watts reaches commercial and residential projects through wholesalers, dealers, original equipment manufacturers, specialist distributors, retailers and private-label relationships, so reported revenue reflects a broad mix of channel orders and building-related product demand.
The reporting mix is wider than valves. Residential and commercial flow control has historically been the largest disclosed product group, accompanied by heating, ventilation and gas equipment, drains and water reuse, and water quality products; IntelliStation adds a smart mixing system to that portfolio.
What do the latest results show for Watts Water Technologies (WTS)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $763M.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The latest quarter extended a marked expansion in sales, gross profit, operating profit, net income and earnings per share. The comparison was not merely sequential: the major income-statement lines also stood well above the corresponding prior-period results, while reported revenue and earnings exceeded market estimates again.
Higher sales coincided with faster growth in operating and net profit, indicating favorable profit conversion in the reported period. Management separately expects seasonal sequential improvement and remains committed to converting a substantial share of net income into free cash flow; that statement is an outlook, not yet a completed result.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Watts Water Technologies (WTS)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $347.90M at the Jun 28, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $102.90M for the quarter ended Jun 28, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Cash and short-term investments exceed total debt, leaving Watts in a net-cash position with strong liquidity and low balance-sheet leverage. Operating cash flow has remained positive throughout the disclosed quarterly series, while capital spending has consumed a comparatively modest portion of that inflow.
Cash has nevertheless declined across recent reporting dates, and free-cash-flow yield is modest relative to the market value. The operating vulnerability is channel and project demand: weaker ordering from plumbing distributors, mechanical dealers, original equipment manufacturers or retailers could pressure factory volume, while a rich earnings multiple leaves less tolerance for weaker conversion.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

What should you watch next at Watts Water Technologies (WTS)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 4, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
The next earnings release should be read against management’s call for seasonal sequential improvement. Revenue, operating profit and earnings should move together if recent conversion persists; a sales increase without comparable profit progress would weaken that interpretation.
Cash conversion deserves equal attention. Operating cash flow strengthened sharply in the latest period, but the cash balance continued to retreat, so the useful test is whether free cash flow begins to support management’s stated conversion goal while preserving the net-cash cushion. Longer-range estimates assume continued revenue and earnings expansion, increasing the importance of consistent execution rather than an isolated estimate beat.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
We expect seasonal sequential improvement in the second half of the year and are on track to achieve our full year goal of free cash flow conversion greater than or equal to 90% of net income, as previously communicated.

How does Watts Water Technologies compare with its peers?
Short answer
Watts Water Technologies's score ranks 2nd of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-13.
Watts differs from a narrowly focused valve or pump manufacturer because its portfolio spans fluid control, heating and gas equipment, drainage and reuse, and water quality. Those categories can enter the same building through different specifications and channels, giving Watts several routes to a commercial or residential project without making it a general machinery vendor.
Its distribution model is similarly broad: wholesalers and mechanical dealers sit alongside original equipment manufacturers, specialist distributors, retailers and private-label customers. That breadth can diversify demand sources, but it also makes channel ordering and product mix central to interpreting reported growth.

WTS Industrials Stock FAQ
Research dated 2026-09-13; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does IntelliStation contribute to Watts Water Technologies?
IntelliStation is Watts’s smart mixing system, extending the company’s traditional temperature and flow-control portfolio into digitally managed water delivery. It fits within a broader offering built around regulating water and energy inside buildings.
Why does residential and commercial flow control matter to Watts?
Residential and commercial flow control has historically been Watts’s largest disclosed product category. Its backflow preventers, pressure regulators, safety valves and mixing valves therefore anchor the business even as heating, drainage, reuse and water quality broaden the revenue base.
How do plumbing wholesalers and original equipment manufacturers shape Watts revenue?
Watts relies on wholesalers, dealers and original equipment manufacturers to place products into plumbing, heating and mechanical applications. Their order patterns connect reported sales to channel inventories, equipment production and building-project demand rather than direct consumer purchases alone.
Why watch Watts’s cash balance while it remains in net cash?
The balance sheet still carries more cash and short-term investments than debt, but cash has retreated across recent reporting dates. Continued operating cash generation alongside stabilization of that balance would provide a cleaner confirmation of management’s cash-conversion objective.
