Pool Corporation stock (ISIN US73278L1052) was trading at USD 160.58 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026, down 2.63 percent from the previous close. The latest company development is a board appointment announced on September 25, 2026, while the stock remains close to its 52-week low of USD 160.38.

Board expands on September 30

According to GlobeNewswire on September 25, 2026, Pool Corporation appointed Jean-Marc Germain as a director, effective September 30, 2026. The appointment will bring the board to nine directors, and Germain will stand for election at the 2027 annual meeting.

Pool Corporation distributes swimming pool supplies, equipment and related outdoor-living products through approximately 455 sales centers in North America, Europe and Australia. The company also serves construction, repair, maintenance, irrigation and landscaping customers, giving recurring maintenance demand a larger role than new pool construction alone.

Second-quarter revenue rises 2.2 percent

Pool Corporation reported second-quarter 2026 EPS of USD 5.38 against a USD 5.33 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. Revenue reached USD 1.82 billion, up 2.2 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stood at USD 10.66-10.96.

The figures show a mixed operating picture: earnings exceeded the cited consensus by USD 0.05, but the company still faces a softer construction backdrop. For investors, the comparison between current quarterly EPS and the prior-year USD 5.17 highlights earnings resilience even as the share price trades near its yearly low.

Wells Fargo target falls to USD 185

Wells Fargo lowered its Pool price objective from USD 215.00 to USD 185.00 and maintained an Equal Weight rating in a September 11, 2026 research note, as reported by MarketBeat. The revised target is USD 24.42 above the September 28 trading price, a gap of 15.20 percent.

MarketBeat also cited a consensus Hold rating and an average target of USD 230.10. That spread leaves analyst expectations well above the market price, but the target reduction from Wells Fargo shows that valuation support is competing with concerns about demand and margins.
