"Flowserve is executing from a position of clear strength, driven by sustained financial momentum, impressive operational performance, and continued robust global demand for our mission-critical flow control solutions across the industrial spectrum," said Scott Rowe, Flowserve's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The decision not to pursue a revised offer for Chart demonstrates our commitment to financial discipline, as well as our confidence in the growth prospects of our standalone business. Our results reflect the successful execution of our 3D growth strategy—Diversify, Decarbonize, and Digitize—while the Flowserve Business System continues to enhance productivity, expand margins, accelerate decision-making, and unlock long-term value."

Chart + Flowserve Just Dropped a $19B Bombshell--Industrial Tech May Never Look the Same
Chart Industries (NYSE:GTLS) and Flowserve (NYSE:FLS) are joining forces in a headline-making $19 billion all-stock merger that could create one of the most dominant players in global industrial process technologies. Announced this week, the deal brings together two highly complementary businesses with a combined installed base of over 5.5 million assets across more than 50 countries. Chart shareholders will receive 3.165 shares of Flowserve for every GTLS share, giving them a 53.5% stake in the new entity. The combined company expects to generate $8.8 billion in revenue, with nearly half of that coming from high-margin aftermarket services. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with GTLS. But this merger isn't just about scaleit's about a full-stack transformation. From cryogenic compression to digital flow management, the new firm wants to offer cradle-to-grave solutions for sectors like LNG, carbon capture, data centers, and even space. It's aiming for $300 million in cost synergies within three years, plus new cross-selling revenue opportunities that could lift topline growth by another 2%. With recurring revenue already at 42% of the total mix, management sees a path to more predictable cash flows and durable margins. Jill Evanko (Chart) will become Board Chair, while Scott Rowe (Flowserve) steps in as CEO. And the numbers? On a trailing 12-month basis, the combined entity pulled in $1.8 billion in cash flow. Management expects the deal to be accretive to adjusted EPS in year one, while maintaining a 2.0x net debt-to-EBITDA ratiosupporting steady dividends and balance sheet strength. If the deal clears shareholder and regulatory hurdles, the new firm will launch under a fresh brand name in late 2025, with headquarters in Dallas and major offices in Atlanta and Houston. For investors betting on long-term infrastructure and energy tech, this could be one to watch. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
