Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 6 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Xylem Inc. ranks 1 of 7. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does Xylem Inc.

Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code? 6 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 3561 (Pumps & Pumping Equipment), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | Xylem Inc. | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $9.0 billion | $2.8 billion | 1 of 6 | | Revenue growth | 5.5% | 5.6% | 4 of 6 | | Operating margin | 13.5% | 15.7% | 5 of 6 | | Net margin | 10.6% | 11.5% | 4 of 6 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Xylem Inc. reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001524472-26-000012 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are Xylem Inc.'s competitors?
