On October 29, Stifel adjusted its outlook on A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS), cutting the price target to $80 from $89 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock, according to The Fly. The firm noted that although the company delivered an earnings beat for the third quarter of 2025, management slightly trimmed full-year guidance due to persistent challenges in China and softer demand from new residential construction, which continues to weigh on its water heater segment.
For the third quarter, A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS) reported revenue of $94.2 million, marking a 4.42% year-over-year increase. Sales in China fell 12% in local currency, leading to a 1% decline in the Rest of World segment, though segment operating margin still improved by 90 basis points.
A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS)’s management also revised its 2025 earnings forecast, narrowing the range to $3.70–$3.85 per share from the prior $3.70–$3.90 range. The company noted that US residential industry unit volumes are expected to be flat to slightly lower than last year, reflecting a modest reduction in new construction activity since the previous quarter.
A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS) is one of North America’s largest manufacturers of residential and commercial water heaters, boilers, and water treatment products.
