$207 -> $225
Reason
Citi analyst Vladimir Bystricky raised the firm's price target on ITT to $225 from $207 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares.
maintain
$210 -> $225
Reason
BofA analyst Andrew Obin raised the firm's price target on ITT to $225 from $210 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after a "strong beat and raise" report for Q3. Following the report, the firm raised its FY26 EPS estimate to $7.53 from $7.47 and raised its multiple to be a premium to peers, arguing this is warranted given above-peer EPS growth and continued positive earnings revisions that the firm expects given strong execution coupled with continued M&A.

$202 -> $203
Reason
Stifel analyst Nathan Jones raised the firm's price target on ITT to $203 from $202 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. After significant uncertainty in the global macro economy post April 2, the biggest adjustment the firm has seen for its industrial companies is an increase in pricing, which has been almost exclusively passed through to customers with little resistance, says the analyst, who thinks on average that tariffs have so far been slightly accretive to EPS among the firm's diversified industrials coverage.
maintain
$190 -> $210
Reason
BofA raised the firm's price target on ITT to $210 from $190 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after having hosted an investor meeting with the company's CEO and VP of IR. ITT remains confident in growth, with A&D, autos, and O&G having the most visibility, and the company has multiple levers for margin expansion despite the uncertain macro backdrop, the analyst contends after the meetings with management.
