Description: VLTO Veralto October 14, 2025
Veralto Corporation (NYSE:VLTO) is a U.S.-based provider of water-focused analytics and treatment solutions, as well as marking, coding, and packaging-color technologies, organized into two operating segments: Water Quality (WQ) and Product Quality & Innovation (PQI).
The Water Quality segment, marketed under brands such as Hach, Trojan Technologies, and ChemTreat, delivers precision instruments, chemical reagents, digital services, and treatment systems for a broad customer base that includes residential, commercial, municipal, industrial, research, and natural-resource users. Recent analyst reports (Q2 2024) estimate the global water-treatment market to be expanding at ~5.2% CAGR, driven by tightening environmental regulations and increasing demand for reliable water reuse in manufacturing.
The Product Quality & Innovation segment, sold through Videojet, Linx, Esko, X-Rite, and Pantone, offers hardware and software for marking, coding, and color management across packaged-goods, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. A key sector driver is the surge in e-commerce and the resulting need for traceability and brand-consistent packaging; industry surveys show a 12% YoY increase in spending on digital asset-management tools for packaging design.
Financially, Veralto reported FY 2023 revenue of $2.1 billion, with the WQ segment contributing roughly 58% and PQI 42%. The company’s adjusted EBITDA margin hovered around 14% in FY 2023, and management has projected a 4-6% top-line growth rate for FY 2024, assuming stable capital-expenditure cycles in municipal water infrastructure projects.
Veralto originated as DH EAS Holding Corp., rebranded in February 2023, and is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Its positioning in the GICS “Environmental & Facilities Services” sub-industry aligns it with investors seeking exposure to sustainability-linked infrastructure spending.
