Pentair (PNR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Pentair (PNR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Pentair demonstrated strong performance with a 11.2% year-over-year increase in pool sales, driven by favorable pricing and volume, indicating robust demand in this segment. The flow segment also reported a 9.3% revenue increase, supported by positive pricing trends, underscoring the company's effective pricing strategy across its operations. With expectations for continued revenue growth of approximately 3%-4% in 2026, along with an anticipated adjusted operating income increase of 9%-10%, Pentair's solid financial trajectory reinforces a positive outlook for the company.
Bears say
Pentair's negative outlook is primarily driven by a projected decline in 2026 estimated cash EPS to $5.00, influenced by a slower economic recovery and disappointing margins and organic revenues. Notably, Water Solutions revenue experienced a year-over-year decline of 9.9%, with significant declines in commercial sales by 15% and residential sales by 1%, which exacerbates concerns about the company's most profitable segment, the Pool business. Additionally, free cash flow conversion weakened to 87%, falling short of historical averages, highlighting potential inefficiencies amid strategic challenges in expanding residential and commercial platforms and executing on large-scale deal integrations.
