Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 57% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 17, 2025
Flowserve already has $3.1 billion of signed orders, and its earnings have grown about 43 percent per year over the last three years, putting it in a strong spot to supply pumps and valves for liquefied natural gas, clean water and low-carbon projects. Investors are steadily buying, and optimism is high. The July 30 earnings report could show profit margins expanding by another 1.5 percentage points. Even after the recent rise, the shares trade at lower valuations than faster-moving peers, so a move to $60-62 within three months looks achievable.
Primary drivers
- A $3.1 billion order book means sales are largely locked in through 2026.
- Recent trading shows many more buyers than sellers, keeping the uptrend strong.
- July 30 results may reveal profit margins rising another 1.5 percentage points.
- Booming liquefied gas and desalination projects are driving new orders worldwide.
How it played out
FLS: the target was not reached
Lyra published FLS on 2025-07-17 at 53.42 with expected growth of 18 percent. The thesis pointed to a $3.1 billion order book, stronger recent buying, a possible 1.5 percentage point margin lift in the July 30 results, and demand from liquefied gas, clean water, and low-carbon projects. It said a move to 60-62 within three months looked achievable.
Inside the window, FLS rose, but it did not reach the 62.61 target. The peak was 58.84 on 2025-07-29, a 10.2 percent gain. It ended the window at 50.39. The thesis partially played out early, then missed the full target.
