Pentair (PNR) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
Pentair faces a tough quarter with a 17% sales drop and significant pool channel inventory destocking, but expectations appear reset and manageable. Pentair trades at 13-14x earnings with modest leverage, following aggressive buybacks and a $1.425B acquisition of Taco Group Holdings at 10.5x EBITDA. The Taco deal is expected to be accretive by $0.10-$0.15 per share post-synergies but raises leverage to 2.4x, limiting further buybacks near term.
Pentair NYSE: PNR reported second-quarter results that were slightly above the company's July 14 pre-announcement, as strong profitability in its Flow and Water Solutions segments was offset by a sharp sales decline in Pool tied primarily to channel inventory reductions.
