ITT Inc.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“ITTers around the world delivered yet another strong quarter as they executed relentlessly across the business. Our teams continue to win in the market, whilst our acquisitions are enhancing the strength of our portfolio and compounding ITT's long-term value creation. At SPX FLOW, we are executing with discipline and speed, delivering high-single-digit growth and capturing cost synergies ahead of schedule. We are unlocking revenue synergies as we leverage our expanded capabilities, global reach and customer relationships. And with a healthy backlog and orders momentum, we are well-positioned to continue driving growth and margin expansion next year whilst building an even stronger ITT,”

How the share price reacted

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
