Stock Pulse
IDEX Corp (IEX) recently saw a 7.3% stock price increase due to positive sentiment around its intelligent water business and a tariff halt [1], but its Q4 2025 results were mixed [2]. While revenue increased 9.4% year-over-year, it fell short of expectations, and EPS guidance missed the mark, leading to a 14.8% stock decline [2]. Despite this, the company highlighted growth in megatrend-driven markets and strategic adjustments [2]. A Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) suggests a neutral outlook, though the stock's performance lagged behind a competitor, DNOW [1]. Long-term prospects appear positive due to efficient profit reinvestment and a projected ROE of 16% [3], and one analysis suggests the stock is significantly undervalued [5]. However, concerns remain about declining organic revenue, underwhelming EPS growth, and decreasing return on invested capital [4].
