Virtus Duff & Phelps Water Fund David D. Grumhaus, Jr. & Nicholas Holmes, CFA | “Watts Water Technologies designs and manufactures water safety, flow control, and conservation solutions used in commercial, residential, and industrial facilities, representing 3.62% of the fund. The manager maintains a favorable long-term stance following strong quarterly results, supported by rapid customer adoption of its specialized liquid cooling and flow control products within technology data centers. Financially, Watts benefits from pricing power and high barriers to entry anchored in stringent municipal plumbing codes and safety certifications, creating a durable economic moat. Although data centers remain an emerging fraction of overall sales, high incremental margins and strong free cash flow conversion catalyzed an expansion in the company's valuation multiple. Key catalysts include continued scaling of data center thermal management applications and institutional facility upgrades. Key downside risks include extended valuation multiples and potential decelerations in broader non-residential commercial construction.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jun 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
