Chemical market weakness: Chemical remains the lowest growth end market, with only slight improvement in North America, posing a challenge to growth in this sector.
Legacy asbestos liabilities: Although a divestment agreement has been reached, legacy asbestos liabilities have historically added complexity and volatility to the company's financials.
Dependence on nuclear growth: The company’s long-term growth strategy heavily relies on nuclear power expansion, which is subject to regulatory, technological, and market risks.
Execution risks in 80/20 program: While the 80/20 complexity reduction program has shown early benefits, its long-term success depends on consistent execution and cultural embedding.

Nuclear and Power Market Growth: Flowserve anticipates significant growth in the nuclear and power markets, with projections of 40 new large nuclear reactors under construction in the next 10 years and up to 30 small modular reactors (SMRs) in the next 5 years.

Share Repurchases: We also returned $173 million of cash to shareholders in the quarter, including $145 million of share repurchases. We have a healthy balance sheet, low leverage, and we continue to see improved cash flow performance from the business. This, coupled with what we viewed as a discounted share price relative to intrinsic value makes repurchasing shares an attractive capital allocation decision.
Share Repurchases in October: We continued share repurchases into October for an incremental $55 million bringing our year-to-date repurchases through October to $253 million, with $200 million remaining on our share repurchase authorization.
