Pentair posts Q3 2026 results, beats EPS estimates and reaffirms full‑year outlook

Pentair reported third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $976 million, down 4% year‑over‑year. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.18, topping the company’s own guidance, while GAAP EPS was $0.91. The Pool segment saw sales fall 18%, whereas Flow and Water Solutions grew modestly, and the company completed its inventory reset in Pool and closed the Taco Group acquisition.

The earnings beat and reaffirmed adjusted EPS guidance of $4.70 for the full year support the recent share price rally, while the inventory reset and Taco acquisition set the stage for higher pool sales and additional revenue in 2027 (the company projects Taco sales above $620 million).
