Flowserve Posts Record Aftermarket Bookings, Raises EPS Outlook Despite Middle East Headwinds

Flowserve Corp reported record aftermarket bookings of nearly $700 million in its second quarter of 2026, driving total bookings up 26% year-over-year to $1.35 billion and prompting the company to raise its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $4.05 to $4.20. Adjusted operating margin expanded 70 basis points to 15.3%, while adjusted gross margin reached 35.9%, up 100 basis points from a year ago. However, organic sales declined 3% due to ongoing portfolio actions and disruption in the Middle East, where sales fell roughly $60 million year-to-date, leading the company to lower its full-year organic sales growth outlook to approximately negative 1%. The company also closed its acquisition of Trillium Valve on June 30, enhancing its capabilities in power generation and expanding its installed base.

StockStory Lists monday.com as Buy, Array and Flowserve as Sells

StockStory has added monday.com to its buy list while recommending investors sell Array Technologies and Flowserve. The firm sees monday.com as likely to exceed Wall Street expectations, citing 25.5% annual recurring revenue growth, a 89.1% gross margin, and efficient customer acquisition. Array Technologies faces revenue declines, poor returns on capital, and a high debt load, while Flowserve struggles with mediocre backlog growth, soft demand forecasts, and low free cash flow margins. Wall Street consensus price targets imply significant upside for all three stocks, but StockStory argues the sell-rated names are disconnected from reality.
