Description: AOS Smith AO January 03, 2026

A. O. Smith Corp. (NYSE:AOS) designs, manufactures, and sells a broad portfolio of residential and commercial water-heating and treatment solutions-including gas/electric water heaters, boilers, heat pumps, solar heaters, expansion tanks, and filtration systems-across North America, China, Europe, and India. Its brands (A. O. Smith, State, Lochinvar, Hague, Water-Right, Master Water, Atlantic Filter, Water Tec, and Aquasana) reach end-users through wholesale plumbing distributors, hardware/home-center chains, manufacturer reps, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels.

Key operating metrics from FY 2023 show revenue of roughly $3.5 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14 %, and a free-cash-flow conversion of 70 % of EBITDA, underscoring strong cash generation. The segment’s growth is closely tied to housing-starts and renovation spending, which have risen 6 % YoY in the U.S., while tightening energy-efficiency standards (e.g., DOE’s 2025 heat-pump water-heater rule) are accelerating demand for high-efficiency heat-pump and tankless units. Internationally, China’s commercial-boiler market is expanding at a 9 % annual rate, providing a secular tailwind for the company’s Lochinvar brand.
