Reasons Why Investors Can Consider Buying Veralto Stock Now

Veralto Corporation VLTO is growing rapidly, driven mainly by its leading Water Quality (WQ) and Product Quality & Innovation (PQI) segments.

WQ, with its innovative products and services that amplify water quality and reliability, is seeing significant growth, driven by the CHIPS Act of 2022(which provides semiconductor manufacturing grants, research investments and tax credits), rising demand for digital tools, AI and autonomous technologies, and increased government funding to address water infrastructure challenges.

Meanwhile, PQI is experiencing rapid growth by serving the major consumer-packaged goods (CPG), life sciences and pharmaceutical companies. The Marketing & Coding (M&C) sub-segment of PQI has become crucial for CPG and pharmaceutical companies due to the need for digitalization, as it combines supply chain operations with consumer insights, quick adaptation to market trendsand stronger customer engagement.
