Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate

Fair
+15.1% to fair value
Average of the 15 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is Medium, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.

SWOT analysis: PENTAIR plc
Strengthsinside the company
- Free cash flow equals 7.9% of the market value, which funds dividends, buybacks or debt paydown.
- Operating profit covers interest 50x, so debt costs are a small drag.
- Passes 7 of the 9 Piotroski tests, which points to improving profitability, funding and efficiency.
Weaknessesinside the company
- No clear weakness in the figures we track.
Opportunitiesvaluation and setting
- Dividends use only 24% of free cash flow, which leaves room to raise them.
- Trades at 13.5x earnings, 48% below the 26.2x median of industry peers.
Threatsvaluation and setting
- No specific threat is flagged by our checks; general market and interest-rate risk still applies.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Industrials
PNR ranks #12 of 81 in Industrials and #2 of 14 in Industrial Machinery & Supplies & Components by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.

These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the X-Ray Score. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on negative earnings). A dash in the history columns means fewer than three usable years.
