Pricing and Input Costs

IDEX CORP /DE/ · 2026-10-28 · Importance 19 · Surprise 6

Pricing contributed approximately 2% of IDEX’s overall top line in 2026, and pricing was also around 2% in Q3. Management expects that level to remain a reasonable company-wide reference, with relatively more pricing in FMT and FSDP than in higher-growth HST. Price-cost was positive on a dollar basis in Q3 as targeted pricing and productivity kept the company ahead of inflation. Management said it intends to continue pricing in excess of cost to protect margins.
