What it owns and what it owes

Both on one scale, because both are money — the bar that is taller is the one that matters.

Cash and debt

Cash & InvestmentsTotal Debt

Cash counts short-term investments, not just the bank balance — technology companies park most of it in marketable securities, and leaving those out understates it several times over. Debt includes lease obligations.

Where the money goes

Cost of RevenueR&D ExpenseSG&A Expense

Only the three costs filers report consistently. Anything a company does not break out sits outside these bands, so the stack is not the whole cost base.

The rest of the series

Not on the overview because five charts is as much as one decision needs — but here in full, on one period switch. Each bar sums the four quarters ending there — a full year, brought up to today.

1Y: +11.74%2Y: +33.73%5Y: +186.59%

Profit margin

12.3%Q1 2026+5.0%

$1.24Q1 2026+7.8%

1Y: +25.25%2Y: +74.65%5Y: -8.82%

The same profit, split across every share. If this lags the profit chart above, the company is issuing shares and your slice is getting smaller. Restated onto today’s share count, so stock splits do not show as jumps. Each bar sums the four quarters ending there — a full year, brought up to today.

Shares outstanding

170.35MQ1 2026-0.4%

How many shares the profit is divided across. Rising is dilution; falling is the company buying itself back. Restated onto today’s basis, so splits do not show as jumps. Each point covers the four quarters ending there — a full year, brought up to today.

Price to earnings

37.8xQ1 2026-8.3%

37.8x today · median 41.2x and range 19.5x–90.8x across the points shown, Q1 2021 to Q1 2026 The break in the line covers one period with no meaningful multiple — a loss, or earnings so small the ratio says more about the denominator than the price.

Paid per unit of yearly profit. Periods with a loss, or profits too small for the ratio to mean anything, are left out — the line breaks rather than drawing through them. Each point covers the four quarters ending there — a full year, brought up to today.

About this data

Everything above comes from Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp’s own filings with the SEC, as reported. No estimates, no analyst figures, nothing adjusted.

Not reported by this filer: Total Operating Expenses, Interest Income, Net Interest Income, Non-interest Income, Non-interest Expense, Provision for Credit Losses, Deposits, Loans, Short-term Investments, Short-term Borrowings, and Borrowings (total). Companies choose which XBRL tags to use, and anything untagged cannot be recovered — so these are blank rather than guessed.
