POOL

Pool Corp.'s stock price declined by 46.05% between September 11, 2025, and September 9, 2026, hitting a new 52-week low of $165.21 on September 23, 2026. Key events include a solid Q1 2026 earnings report on April 23, 2026, with increased net sales and operating income, and reaffirmed annual guidance. John B. Watwood was appointed President and CEO on May 4, 2026. The Q2 2026 earnings report on July 23, 2026, showed adjusted earnings beating estimates but revenue missing, with sales growth driven by pricing and maintenance demand, and full-year EPS guidance reaffirmed. The company declared quarterly cash dividends of $1.30 per share payable in May and August 2026. Pool Corporation was removed from the S&P 500 in June 2026. Revised guidance, likely for 2026, indicated solid non-discretionary demand but hampered discretionary spending, leading to lowered annual earnings guidance due to expected declines in new pool construction and remodel activity. In September 2026, the stock experienced volatility and a slide due to profit-taking and the absence of fresh upgrades after a technical rebound.
