What ITT does

Diversified industrial manufacturer making pumps, brake pads/friction materials and connectors for industrial, auto and aerospace customers.

Sells brake pads to carmakers, which design them into vehicle models for years and pay per unit, and industrial pumps to process plants, where spare parts and service follow the first sale. Connectors for aerospace and industrial use are the third line. It spun off Exelis and Xylem in 2011 and sold its legacy asbestos liabilities in 2021.

Products and services

  • Motion Technologies (brake pads)
  • Industrial Process (pumps)
  • Connect and Control Technologies (connectors)

Customers

  • Automakers (brake friction OEM/aftermarket)
  • Industrial process/chemical plants
  • Aerospace/defense OEMs

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials
  • Diversified industrial components
  • Fluid technology, motion technology and…

What could go right

  • EV brake-pad content growth
  • Industrial capex recovery

What could go wrong

  • Auto production cyclicality
  • Industrial capex sensitivity

Moat: narrow (customer qualification, process know-how, installed base). OEM-qualified brake friction materials and process-critical pumps create switching costs.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
