The stocks of companies that make swimming pools and related equipment were sharply lower Tuesday, after industry leader Pool Corp. issued a profit warning for 2024, citing weak demand for new pools.

People aren't spending on swimming pools right now, an industry-leading company warns

Pool Corporation (POOL) shares sank in intraday trading Tuesday, a day after the distributor of pool products slashed its guidance as economic conditions have led to a pullback in consumer discretionary spending and cut into demand.

Pool Corporation Slashes Outlook as Economic Conditions Hurt Sales

POOL Corporation shares have underperformed the market, losing 5% in the past year during a bull market, and POOL significantly cut guidance, leading to a 10% drop after hours. Pool construction activity is particularly weak, more than offsetting stability in maintenance-related work. Slow income growth, high rates, and decreased construction activity may continue to impact POOL's performance, making it an unattractive investment at 26x earnings.

Pool Corporation's Q2 Guidance Cut Indicates Further Weakness

Pool Corp. POOL, -0.00%, a distributor of swimming-pool supplies, slashed its profit outlook for this year, citing “persistently weak” demand for new pool construction as more expensive basics weigh on discretionary spending. The company said it expected per-share profits of $11.04 to $11.44, down from an earlier outlook of $13.19 to $14.19.
