Summary
Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS; headquartered in Irving, Texas per its 10-Q cover) makes pumps, valves and seals. In Q2 2026 sales were $1.2B (-2%), bookings rose 26% to $1.35B (book-to-bill 1.15), and energy bookings rose 48%, helped by large LNG awards in the Middle East and Canada; management cited longer-term opportunities in energy security including redundant pipelines and storage, without sizing them (Nasdaq call summary). The valve businesses described in the 10-Q excerpt (MOGAS severe-service valves; Trillium Flow Technologies’ valves for power generation) are not mainline gas transmission valves, and no pipeline project order was found (SEC 10-Q).

What It Is / How It Works
Flowserve’s energy bookings are a read-through for LNG and gas infrastructure capital spending. Valve bookings lead field installation by many months, so a rise in oil-and-gas orders is an early signal, though Flowserve’s mainline-pipeline share is not established here.
Notable Developments
- 2026-07-29/31: Q2 results and call: energy bookings +48%, power +39%. (Nasdaq)
