ATLANTA, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA), a leading manufacturer and marketer of products and solutions used in the transmission, distribution and measurement of water in North America, announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved a $300 million increase to the existing common stock repurchase authorization. The Board also declared today a $0.08 per share quarterly dividend, a 14.3% increase compared with the prior quarterly dividend.

“Our decision to increase the quarterly dividend and expand our share repurchase authorization reflects our confidence in Mueller’s strategy supported by the disciplined execution of the Mueller Operating System. With our strong balance sheet and ability to generate cash, we can continue investing in the business while returning capital to shareholders. The expanded authorization gives us added flexibility to repurchase shares opportunistically when we believe they are undervalued,” said Paul McAndrew, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products.

$300 Million Stock Repurchase Authorization

The Board increased the common stock repurchase program authorization by $300.0 million, bringing the total existing common stock repurchase authorization to $334.5 million, including the existing stock repurchase authorization.

The Company repurchased $30.5 million of common stock in fiscal 2026, including $15.0 million in the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2026.

Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, accelerated share repurchase arrangements and tender offers, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market and business conditions, prevailing stock prices, and contractual limitations, among other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, or at any specific time or intervals, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion.

Quarterly Dividend Increase

The Board has declared a $0.08 per share quarterly dividend, representing a 14.3% increase from the $0.07 per share dividend paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The dividend is payable on or about November 19, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2026.

Proven Financial and Operating Leader to Help Advance Mueller’s Strategy and Next Phase of Growth

Melissa Rasmussen to Support a Smooth Transition Through Year-End

ATLANTA, Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA), a leading manufacturer and marketer of products and solutions used in the transmission, distribution and measurement of water in North America, today announced a planned transition of its Chief Financial Officer with the appointment of Michael Morgan as Executive Vice President, Finance, effective October 28, 2026. Mr. Morgan will assume the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on or about November 19, 2026, following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 (the "Annual Report"). Melissa Rasmussen will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer through the filing of the Annual Report and will remain with Mueller in an advisory role through December 31, 2026, to support a smooth transition.

Mr. Morgan is an accomplished financial and operating leader with more than 30 years of experience. He currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Indicor, a diversified industrial company, where he is accountable for enterprise finance strategy, capital allocation and portfolio optimization. Prior to Indicor, Mr. Morgan spent a decade at Labcorp, where he served as Senior Vice President of Enterprise Finance and Chief Financial Officer of both the company’s Biopharma Laboratory Services and Diagnostics segments. In those roles, he led financial strategy, enterprise FP&A and acquisition integration. Earlier, Mr. Morgan held finance, operational and commercial leadership roles at The Timken Company, including as Vice President and Group Controller, as well as finance leadership and investor relations roles at PerkinElmer. Mr. Morgan earned a Master of Business Administration, with concentrations in Finance and Accounting, from the University of Notre Dame and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science from Miami University.

“Mike is a proven industrial finance leader with an extensive track record working with management teams and boards to improve performance and drive profitable growth,” said Paul McAndrew, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mueller Water Products. “His operational background and experience in financial strategy will strengthen how we plan, forecast and execute across the business. Mike will be an important partner in advancing the Mueller Operating System and translating operational improvements into sustained value for customers, employees and shareholders.”

“I am excited to join Mueller, a company whose products play an essential part in delivering safe, reliable water to communities across North America,” said Mr. Morgan. “I look forward to partnering with Paul and the leadership team to strengthen execution, support disciplined investment in the business and advance Mueller’s strategy for profitable growth and long-term value creation.”

Mr. McAndrew continued, “On behalf of the Board and the entire Mueller team, I want to thank Melissa for her contributions and commitment to Mueller. She has played an important role in strengthening our finance organization and supporting Mueller’s priorities, and we appreciate her commitment to supporting an orderly transition. We wish her continued success.”

Ms. Rasmussen’s transition and separation are not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, operations, policies, or practices.

Small Caps Are Crushing the S&P 500—3 Stocks Still Worth BuyingMueller Water Products NYSE: MWA reported record third-quarter results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, as pricing actions, tariff refunds, cost management and demand in municipal infrastructure and specialty valves supported sales and profitability.

Net sales increased 4.1% year over year to a quarterly record of $395.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 24.3% to a record $107.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 440 basis points to 27.1%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 47.1% from the prior-year quarter to a record $0.50.

Get Mueller Water Products alerts:

Russell 2000 Stocks: Too Early or Finally Interesting?President and CEO Paul McAndrew said the quarter reflected commercial execution, resilient municipal end-market demand and strong project-related specialty-valve growth. He also said the company generated strong free cash flow while continuing to invest in capacity and efficiency initiatives and returning about $21 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Margins Benefit From Pricing, Tariff Refunds and Cost Controls Gross profit rose 6.9% to $155.8 million, and gross margin increased 110 basis points to 39.4%. Chief Financial Officer Melissa Rasmussen said pricing actions and refunds related to International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariffs more than offset inflation, operational-performance effects, volume impacts, portfolio optimization costs and product mix.

Burry Just Sold Amazon, Replaced it With Alibaba, is He Right?The company incurred $3.1 million of portfolio optimization costs in cost of sales associated with its exit from the i2O pressure-monitoring business outside North America. Excluding tariff refunds and those portfolio optimization costs, adjusted gross margin was about 30 basis points above the prior-year gross margin of 38.3%, Rasmussen said.

SG&A expense declined $7 million year over year to $64 million, reflecting reduced foreign-exchange headwinds and lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by inflation. The company also recorded $11.2 million of strategic reorganization and other charges, mainly tied to the i2O exit, including non-cash asset impairments, transaction expenses and severance, as well as costs related to its leadership transition.

The quarter’s effective tax rate was 15.7%, compared with 27.1% a year earlier. Rasmussen said a one-time tax benefit connected with the i2O exit contributed approximately $0.06 per diluted share.

Segment Results Water Flow Solutions: Net sales declined 0.6% to $215.3 million. Higher pricing and specialty-valve volume growth largely offset lower iron gate-valve and service-brass volumes. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.5% to a record $73.5 million, and margin rose 310 basis points to 34.1%. Water Management Solutions: Net sales increased 10.3% to $180.6 million, driven by hydrant and natural-gas distribution-product volume growth and higher pricing. Adjusted EBITDA rose 43.6% to a record $50.7 million, while margin expanded 650 basis points to 28.1%. During the question-and-answer session, Rasmussen said third-quarter tariff refunds provided a 150-basis-point benefit to consolidated results, split roughly evenly between the two segments. The benefit was 140 basis points in Water Flow Solutions and 170 basis points in Water Management Solutions, she said.

The company expects no additional tariff refunds. Rasmussen said Section 232 tariffs continue to create elevated costs, including impacts on the Krausz business line, while the company expects its pricing actions to remain price-cost positive entering the fourth quarter.

Cash Flow, Investments and Balance Sheet For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, free cash flow increased $7.6 million from the prior-year period to $110.6 million, representing 59% of adjusted net income. Cash provided by operating activities increased $18.4 million, though the company said working capital remains elevated because of inventory investments, inflation and tariffs.

Capital expenditures were $43.6 million during the first nine months, compared with $32.8 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting investments in iron foundries intended to support productivity, capacity and operations.

Mueller ended the quarter with $495 million of cash and equivalents, $453 million of total debt and $659 million of total liquidity. The company had no borrowings under its asset-based lending facility and no debt maturities until June 2029, according to Rasmussen.

Guidance Raised as Fourth-Quarter Conditions Vary by Segment Mueller narrowed its fiscal 2026 net-sales growth forecast to 2.8% to 3.5% year over year and raised adjusted EBITDA guidance to $367 million to $372 million. At the midpoint, the outlook implies an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.1%, which would be an annual record for the company.

The company reduced its expected SG&A expense range to $241 million to $245 million and lowered effective tax-rate guidance to 21% to 23%, reflecting the third-quarter tax benefit. It reaffirmed capital spending of $60 million to $65 million and expects free-cash-flow conversion to exceed 70% of adjusted net income.

Management expects slower new residential construction activity to weigh more heavily on fourth-quarter results, particularly in Water Management Solutions as hydrant backlog normalizes. In Water Flow Solutions, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to remain above the prior year, though it anticipates a sequential decline due partly to normal seasonality, short-cycle volume pressure and product mix.

McAndrew said municipal repair-and-replacement demand remains resilient and specialty valves continue to be the company’s fastest-growing category. He said specialty-valve opportunities include potable water, wastewater, industrial water and data-center-related projects, though the data-center business remains relatively small for Mueller.

McAndrew also said federal funding represents less than 5% of total municipal investment, with most spending coming from state and local governments. While some federal stimulus is sunsetting, he said the company does not expect a meaningful effect from that funding over the next one to three years because projects supported by appropriated funds still need to be executed.

Mueller Water Products (MWA - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.5 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.39 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.34 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +28.21%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of fire hydrants, pipes and water valves would post earnings of $0.38 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.4, delivering a surprise of +5.26%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Mueller Water Products, which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - General Industrial industry, posted revenues of $395.9 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.51%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $380.3 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Mueller Water Products shares have added about 11.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13%.

What's Next for Mueller Water Products?While Mueller Water Products has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Mueller Water Products was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.40 on $390.55 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.47 on $1.48 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Manufacturing - General Industrial is currently in the top 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, DNOW (DNOW - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 6.

This energy and industrial distribution company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -70.4%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

DNOW's revenues are expected to be $1.26 billion, up 101.3% from the year-ago quarter.
