The
Pool Corporation (POOL) encountered mixed fortunes. The firm declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$1.25 per share, signaling its financial confidence. This decision was backed further when
Handelsbanken Fonder AB and
Waratah Capital Advisors Ltd. bought substantial shares of the firm. Unfortunately, the Business still struggled in Q4, dragging its stock value down by
35% over the past year, which led to an unnamed fund dumping a
$10 million stake.
Soft demand was cited as one of the reasons for the decline in POOL's shares. POOL had
$5.3B in sales for 2025, projecting up to
$11.15 a share for 2026. While certain analysts suggested POOL is set for gains as the market recovers, others maintain a 'hold' rating or lowered their price target, highlighting uncertainty. The company also announced that
Peter Arvan, CEO has shares withheld to cover tax liability and disclosed leadership changes with the exit of Senior Vice President
Kenny G. St. Romain.
