The Gabelli Equity Income Fund Mario J. Gabelli, Kevin V. Dreyer, Christopher J. Marangi | “Flowserve Corp. (1.8%) (FLS – $74.16 – NYSE), based in Irving, Texas, is a leading provider of engineered pumps, seals, and valves serving oil and gas, power, chemical, and water infrastructure end markets globally, with particular momentum in power and nuclear end markets, fueled by AI data center buildout and electrification trends. The Company's '3D' strategy (Diversify, Decarbonize, and Digitize) is executed through the Flowserve Business System, an internal operating discipline that drives margin expansion and productivity. Flowserve Business System delivered 530 basis points of adjusted operating margin improvement over two years, allowing the Company to achieve its 2027 adjusted operating margin target of 16.8% two years ahead of schedule. Looking ahead, the Company has set 2030 targets of a mid-single-digit organic sales CAGR over the next five years, a 20% adjusted operating margin, and a double-digit adjusted EPS CAGR.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 14, 2026 | View Pitch |
Voya MI Dynamic Small Cap Fund (formerly Voya Small Company Fund) Voya Investments, LLC | “A non-benchmark position in Flowserve Corp. (FLS) had a positive impact on performance. FLS is an industrials stock that manufactures pumps, valves, and flow control systems for energy, chemicals, power, and industrial infrastructure. The ML models rank it in the top 10% of the universe, driven by its valuation and volatility features. During the quarter the stock rose after delivering strong 4Q25 results. BSD Analysis: Flowserve sells mission-critical flow control equipment where failure is catastrophic and switching is not casual. Pumps, valves, and seals don't sound exciting until you realize they sit inside energy, chemicals, power, and water systems that cannot go down. After years of operational cleanup, execution has tightened and margins are finally behaving. Investors still anchor to legacy industrial cyclicality and miss the aftermarket and service annuity embedded in the installed base. Energy transition capex doesn't bypass Flowserve — it reroutes through it. Pricing power shows up quietly when uptime is non-negotiable. This is industrial infrastructure paid to be boring and correct, not fast and flashy.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
