Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
ITT Inc. is a diversified industrial manufacturing company that designs and produces highly engineered components and systems for transportation, industrial, and energy markets. The company operates primarily in the industrial manufacturing and engineering sectors, supplying mission‑critical products that are embedded in customers’ end systems. ITT’s revenue is driven by demand from global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), industrial customers, and infrastructure operators.
The company’s core business lines include motion and vibration control components, industrial pumps and fluid handling systems, and connectors and sensing technologies. ITT is positioned as a high‑value supplier with a focus on engineered-to-order products, long product lifecycles, and significant aftermarket revenue. Originally founded in 1920 as International Telephone & Telegraph, the company has undergone multiple transformations, divesting telecommunications and defense assets over decades to become a focused industrial technology company following its 2011 spin‑off from ITT Corporation.
Business Operations
ITT operates through three primary business segments: Motion Technologies, Industrial Process, and Connect & Control Technologies. Motion Technologies produces brake pads, shock absorbers, sealing solutions, and vibration-damping components used in automotive, rail, aerospace, and industrial applications. Industrial Process focuses on pumps, valves, and related aftermarket services, with a strong installed base supporting recurring revenue. Connect & Control Technologies designs connectors, sensors, and control components used in aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial markets.
The company maintains both domestic and international manufacturing and service operations, supported by proprietary engineering capabilities and specialized production assets. Key subsidiaries and brands include Goulds Pumps, Enidine, KonI, and Cannon, each serving distinct end markets. ITT also engages in long-term supply agreements with major OEMs and benefits from aftermarket service and replacement demand tied to its installed equipment base.
Strategic Position & Investments
ITT’s strategy emphasizes organic growth through innovation, operational excellence, and selective bolt‑on acquisitions that expand technology capabilities or market access. The company has invested heavily in product development related to electrification, lightweight materials, and energy efficiency, particularly within automotive and industrial end markets. Acquisitions such as Goulds Pumps strengthened ITT’s position in industrial fluid handling and aftermarket services.
The company continues to allocate capital toward emerging technologies that support sustainability, including advanced braking systems for electric vehicles and energy‑efficient pumping solutions. ITT’s portfolio approach prioritizes businesses with defensible market positions, high margins, and strong free cash flow generation, while divesting non‑core or underperforming assets when appropriate.

ITT is headquartered in White Plains, New York, and operates manufacturing, engineering, and service facilities across North America, Europe, Asia‑Pacific, and Latin America. The company maintains a significant presence in the United States and Western Europe, which together account for a substantial portion of revenue, while also serving fast‑growing industrial markets in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Its global footprint supports multinational customers and enables localized production for regional markets. ITT’s international operations also include sales offices and service centers that support aftermarket demand and long-term customer relationships across multiple continents.
