Paramount plans November layoffs in $2 billion cost-cutting move - NYP
STAMFORD - ITT Inc. (NYSE:ITT), a $12.4 billion industrial technology company trading near its 52-week high of $161.79, announced Tuesday that its Svanehøj business has secured its first agreement to provide specialized flow technology for next-generation Ultra Large Ethane Carriers (ULECs). According to InvestingPro data, ITT maintains strong financial health with consistent profitability.
Under the agreement, Svanehøj will deliver deepwell fuel, cargo and stripping pumps for two ULECs, each with a carrying capacity of 40 million gallons. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2026 for what the company described as a leading European maritime customer.
Ethane, transported in liquefied form at low temperatures, is a critical component in energy and petrochemical production. Svanehøj’s pump design places electrical components outside the tank, which simplifies maintenance access.
The company has been expanding in the ethane carrier segment since 2019, previously winning contracts for second-generation Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs). According to the company, all VLECs currently operating globally are equipped with Svanehøj deepwell pumps.
"Once again, ITT’s differentiated product portfolio is equipped to meet growing demand for alternative fuels," said Svanehøj’s Chief Executive Officer Søren Kringelholt in the press release.
The Denmark-based Svanehøj, founded in 1928, employs approximately 400 professionals with operations in Denmark, Singapore and France. The company generated about $160 million in sales in 2024 and is part of ITT’s Industrial Process segment, which reported revenue of approximately $1.4 billion in 2024. ITT’s overall revenue reached $3.63 billion in the last twelve months, with a healthy gross profit margin of 34.7%. The company has demonstrated strong financial discipline, maintaining dividend increases for 12 consecutive years.
The company also reported securing additional commercial awards including fuel pumps for a natural gas development in the Black Sea region and four underground installations in the Asian Liquefied Petroleum Gas market, according to the press release. With a net income of $515.3 million in the last twelve months and strong return metrics, ITT continues to demonstrate robust operational performance.
