Watts Water Technologies' business model benefits from a defensive repair-and-replacement revenue base, contributing to more stable demand. Historically, the company experiences seasonality where first-half margins are typically higher than second-half margins. In Q1 2025, organic sales declined, partly attributed to fewer shipping days and ongoing weakness in the European market.
