The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- XYL closes below its 50-day average ($103.55), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($116.19): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $97.83, XYL is 35.8% below its 1-year high of $152.44, set on November 6, 2025, and 11.9% above its 1-year low of $87.40 (October 28, 2026).
- Over the past month XYL fell 4.1%, from $101.99 to $97.83.
- XYL trades at 21.7x its last twelve months of earnings and 16.7x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 30.2% higher.
- Its P/E is 36.5% below the 34.1x median of the 3 other specialty industrial machinery companies we track (GE, ETN, PH).
- XYL's 30-day volatility, 61.0% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.8%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.99: over five years of monthly returns, XYL moved about 0.99% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $103.55 (+5.8%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 12.2% to cross the 200-day at $116.19.
- A close above $152.44 (+55.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $87.40 (−10.7%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for XYL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under specialty industrial machinery among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for XYL by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
