Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:POOL) reported its annual earnings and Q4 results, beating analysts' estimates, despite a decline in sales. The corporation saw a significant 152% surge in cash flow and optimistically set up its 2025 EPS guidance focusing on maintenance growth and market expansion. Amid delayed decisions by investors on the stock, the billion-dollar company Buffett's Berkshire has added to its portfolio did catch attention.
The company announced an executive departure and lowered its price target. Financial experts question the visibility of strong financials behind the recent decent stock performance. Warren Buffett's company acquisition, Domino's Pizza and Pool Corp, sparked interest. Pool Corp faced the heat of weak summer demand causing a blow to the stock value but managed to bounce back.
The company made significant moves like partnering with YMCA for Water Safety Day and acquiring Vak Pak Builders Supply and Swimline Distributors that offer promise. Still, some shareholders appeared restless over the P/E ratio. The investment five years ago in this corporation today would translate to a material 49% gain.
