Pool Corporation (POOL) has been in the limelight recently, despite confronting obstacles, it managed to perform well in the markets.
Analysts are generally bullish on POOL's stock, attributing it to robust fundamentals. However, some experts are not favoring Berkshire's move into the company. POOL's quarterly cash dividend announcement, weak demand, and unfavorable economic conditions leading to the slashing of the company's outlook have dampened investor sentiment. Notably,
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway revealed significant stakes in Domino's Pizza and Pool Corp, which injected optimism into the investor community. However, POOL's stock experienced a decline due to cut guidance indicating weakness and sluggish summer demand for pools. Further, POOL successfully surpassed earnings and revenue estimates in Q3 and announced a receivables purchase agreement modification. On the other hand, higher interest rates negatively impacted the company in Q2. Goldman Sachs maintains its 'Buy' rating on POOL, and the company recently acquired Swimline Distributors. With an optimistic outlook, the pool industry is navigating post-pandemic headwinds. However, poor Q2 performance and a chlorine explosion hurting pool demand in Providence, RI, represent key concerns.
