Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Pool Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month price target by $17 to $269, based on 24x our 2026 EPS estimate (up from 23x), a discount to POOL's 26x five-year average forward multiple, reflecting cyclical headwinds to new pool construction. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate to $11.20 from $10.95 and raise 2027's to $11.94 from $11.81, reflecting strong Q1 chemical (+8% Y/Y), equipment (+7% Y/Y) sales growth and gradual improvement in building materials growth (+5% Y/Y). We reiterate our Buy opinion, viewing management's 2026 EPS guidance of $10.87-$11.17 as achievable given low single-digit sales growth and flat operating margins, with upside as tariff cost impacts wane. We think POOL's unmatched scale (455 sales centers) provides it key advantages, including a differentiated product portfolio, ability to ramp private label product sales, and technology (POOL360) and supplier partnerships that support the company's ability to gain market share of the 5.5 million installed pool base in the U.S.

Research Alert: Pool: Q1 Beat On Maintenance Strength; Maintains Full-year Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:POOL posted Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.43, up 8.4%, beating the $1.37 consensus estimate. Revenue of $1,138.0M, up 6.2%, beat the $1,098M estimate due to momentum in maintenance products and gradual improvement in discretionary purchases. We believe guidance is achievable given easier year-over-year comparisons and stabilization signs in discretionary spending. POOL maintained full-year EPS guidance of $10.87-$11.17, with the midpoint in line with consensus and implying 3% EPS growth, the first growth since 2022. Gross margins declined 20bps to 29.0% due to seasonal mix headwinds, though operating leverage from slower SG&A growth maintained stable 7.3% operating margins. Inventory levels rose 14% to $1.7B, reflecting higher purchase levels, an important metric to monitor as elevated levels could signal either anticipated demand improvement or potential margin pressure. We view continued macroeconomic volatility and housing market weakness as key risks that could pressure discretionary purchases.
