Guidance / Outlook

PENTAIR plc · 2026-08-05 · Importance 73 · Surprise 76

Third-party reporting said Pentair reduced its full-year 2026 guidance after inventory right-sizing by channel partners in advance of the 2027 pool season. The Pool channel destocking was reported to have reduced sales by $170 million and income by $105 million, while second-quarter sales declined 17% year over year. The revised outlook also excluded the Taco Group Holdings acquisition, tempering near-term expectations for sales and earnings. Reports characterized the change as a softer near-term outlook tied to inventory cleanup and weaker pool demand.
