Flowserve Corporation: Still Not Primed For An Upgrade

Summary Flowserve Corporation has shown strong performance, with a 22.4% stock increase, but its current valuation limits further upside potential, leading me to maintain a 'hold' rating. Despite revenue and profit growth, including a 3.5% revenue increase and significant cost savings from restructuring, the stock remains fairly valued compared to peers. Management's optimistic future projections, including a $5 billion revenue target by 2027, are encouraging, but the stock's valuation still appears high. Upcoming financial results for Q4 2024 could influence my stance, but for now, I remain cautious about Flowserve's ability to outperform the market. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
