Pentair Q2 sales fall 17% to $933 million on Pool channel inventory reduction
Pentair reported second quarter 2026 sales of $933 million, down 17% from a year earlier, and GAAP EPS of $0.80, down 11%. The company attributed the decline mainly to a larger-than-expected inventory correction in its Pool channel, and it set third quarter and full-year 2026 guidance that is lower than the prior year. The filing also states that Pentair has agreed to acquire Taco Group Holdings, which is excluded from its 2026 guidance.
