The latest update is out from Flowserve ( (FLS) ).
Flowserve Corporation’s board of directors amended the company’s by-laws, effective May 14, 2026, to reduce the size of the board from eleven to nine directors, signaling a streamlined governance structure that could affect board dynamics and decision-making. On the same date, the company held its virtual 2026 annual meeting, where shareholders representing 91.02% of eligible shares voted and elected nine directors to one-year terms expiring in 2027.
At the meeting, investors approved on an advisory basis the compensation of Flowserve’s named executive officers and ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Shareholders decisively rejected a proposal requesting an annual advisory shareholder vote on the company’s stock repurchases, reinforcing management’s discretion over capital return strategies and signaling broad support for current governance and compensation practices.

Spark’s Take on FLS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FLS is a Neutral.
The score is anchored by improved profitability, returns, and solid free cash flow plus reaffirmed full-year EPS and margin guidance. It is held back by clearly bearish technical momentum, an above-average P/E with a modest yield, and added leverage/uncertainty tied to geopolitical disruption and acquisition-related financing.
