What Veralto does

Veralto Corporation (NYSE: VLTO) is a publicly traded global provider of essential water and product quality solutions, organized into two reporting segments. The Water Quality segment serves municipal drinking water and wastewater utilities, industrial water users, and environmental monitoring agencies with analytical instruments (Hach), UV disinfection and membrane filtration (Trojan Technologies, AQUAFIDES, Aria Filtra, VIQUA, Aquafine), industrial water treatment chemicals (ChemTreat), flow measurement (McCrometer), environmental hydrology (OTT HydroMet, In-Situ), oceanographic instrumentation (Sea-Bird Scientific, Kipp & Zonen), and water data management software (Aquatic Informatics). The Product Quality & Innovation segment serves food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer packaged goods manufacturers with coding and marking equipment (Videojet, Linx), color science and standards (X-Rite Pantone), packaging design and workflow software (Esko, including AI verification via GlobalVision), elemental analysis (XOS), and supply chain compliance software (TraceGains).

Veralto generates revenue through a mix of capital equipment sales, recurring consumables (reagents, inks, replacement parts), and growing software subscriptions. Approximately 60% of total sales are recurring, and the company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales forces supplemented by channel partners and distributors, with B2B quote-based pricing on annual or multi-year contracts. FY25 sales reached $5,503M (+6.0% YoY) and Q1 2026 sales reached $1,422M (+6.7% YoY), with ~17,000 associates across 60+ countries. The portfolio includes 14 wholly-owned operating companies with industry-leading brands, supported by the proprietary Veralto Enterprise System (VES) continuous improvement methodology inherited from the Danaher Business System. Since spinning off from Danaher in October 2023, Veralto has executed an active M&A program — including TraceGains ($350M), In-Situ ($435M), AQUAFIDES ($20M), and GlobalVision ($195M) — alongside a $750M share repurchase program and a $725M senior notes offering in May 2026 to fund continued capital deployment.
