The higher target follows a strong third quarter. Revenue exceeded $1.40 billion, up 44% from a year earlier, as highlighted by MarketBeat.

The margin shows how much revenue remains after operating costs, excluding certain items. Reported earnings were $1.38 per share, as highlighted by Business Wire.

Orders rose 58%, including 20% organic growth, supported by aerospace, defense and industrial demand. ITT’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.08, meaning it received more orders than it recorded in quarterly revenue. A growing order book gives the company work to deliver in future periods.

ITT also raised its full-year earnings and cash flow outlook. It now expects organic revenue growth of 7% to 9%. CEO Luca Savi said the company’s backlog is healthy and growing, giving management confidence for the fourth quarter and the start of 2027.
