I analyzed 139 publicly traded water companies and discovered a simple formula that predicts their valuations using just three parameters: position on the "boring-to-hype spectrum," percentage of digital revenue, and percentage of recurring revenue. This formula reveals systematic market mispricing that creates 8-25% annual return opportunities by exploiting Wall Street's ignorance of water industry fundamentals. Wanna find out?

Connect with me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoinewalter1/ A big thanks to my sponsor, SimpleLab! https://gosimplelab.com/ I know the future - so let me share it! Indeed, yes, I did it again: I drowned myself in 153'482 LinkedIn ads for the keywords "Water" and "Wastewater" from Q2 to Q3 2024 (using a “slightly homemade” scraping approach - please forgive me, LinkedIn!). I did so, looking for the signals companies believe will make them money in 2025 - that's how I know the future. Why ads, you ask? Well, for a simple reason: businesses rarely burn ad budgets on dead-ends. So, if they're paying to talk about it, they must see an ROI! Here's the executive summary of what I learned: that's hopefully enough to give you plenty of conversation starters and investment hints!

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with water technology? When GE sold its water division in 2017, nobody blinked. But in 2024, Georg Fischer's stock jumped 15% when they announced they're selling everything BUT water! Plus GF's not alone: DuPont and Danaher are making similar moves, and there's a World in which Veolia might move along. What changed? Water tech companies are expected to grow from $290B to $1.4T in value by 2034. From being seen as "slow-growth" and "low-tech" a decade ago, water technology is now the hottest asset in industrial portfolios. Let's explore what this means for the future of the #WaterSector - and more precisely for #WaterTech companies! Get my friend Björn to buy me a beer (and pocket the 10% discount) subscribe to Global Water Intelligence using the code "BJOERN10" My Full Interview with Mads Joergensen (GF's CFO): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qg05MfjB7g My (impromptu) coverage of the Xylem/Evoqua Merger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwKzgZYj5U

Georg Fischer (or GF) just announced that it divested its Machining Solutions arm for about 650 million Swiss francs to United Grinding Group and evaluated strategic options to do the same with its Casting Solutions division. Said differently, GF fully embraced its new trajectory: becoming a Water and Flow solutions company, with, on top of this, the ambition to become the World leader at that (starting from number two).Here's what I discussed with Mads:Why are companies like GF pivoting entirely toward water solutions?How does a traditional industrial company make a leap into sustainable infrastructure?Can the water market really sustain 8% growth?How do acquisitions fit into GF's $5 billion revenue goal?What makes water infrastructure a smart investment right now?How can investing in water align with sustainable goals?What's the "ketchup effect" in mergers and acquisitions?If you want to follow up with Mads, reach out to him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madsjoergensen/Key IdeasStrategic Shift in Water Sector: GF divested its machining solutions and plans to exit its casting solutions divisions to focus on water-related products. This pivot, welcomed by the market, positions GF as a pure-play water and flow solutions company in response to global water scarcity concerns, increasing the attractiveness of water infrastructure investments.Acquisition of Uponor: GF's recent 2.1 billion CHF acquisition of Uponor bolstered its presence in piping systems and set the foundation for a focus on water solutions. GF sees Uponor as essential to consolidating its market position and is pursuing acquisitions in similar companies to reach its revenue goal of 5 billion CHF by 2030.Market Fragmentation and M&A Strategy: The water market's fragmentation offers GF a path to scale rapidly through strategic acquisitions of companies between $75 million to $125 million, quickly integrating them to build a resilient, scalable business. This acquisition approach aims to make GF the market leader by capitalizing on economies of scale but mostly scope.Sustainable Investment Appeal: With investors increasingly focused on environmental impact, GF's shift aligns with sustainability and long-term profitability. Mads Joergensen highlights how water infrastructure is crucial for economic stability and environmental health, positioning GF as a high-impact investment opportunity that appeals to both financial and environmental investors.Global Expansion Plans: GF is aiming for geographic diversification with a balanced presence across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. This global reach, coupled with sector diversification across building, industrial, and infrastructure flow solutions, offers resilience and positions GF to capitalize on the growing global water market.Challenges and Caution in Water Innovation: Water technology has long development cycles, sometimes taking decades to reach market maturity. GF's approach focuses on proven technologies and scalable solutions, reducing exposure to riskier, early-stage innovations.Hey, and for the sake of full disclosure: this is NOT a sponsored episode (at all), but GF happens to be my employer when I'm not running this podcast

You need to know the rules to beat the rules ⬇️ Water innovation takes decades to be adopted: 35 Years for the average water tech!
