What the Zacks Model Unveils for PNR
Our model does not predict an earnings beat for Pentair this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here as you can see below.
Earnings ESP of PNR: Pentair has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped Pentair’s Q4 Performance
After witnessing lower volumes for five consecutive quarters, the Pool segment saw a rebound in volumes in the second quarter of 2024 with 17.1% growth. However, volume growth has since decelerated to single digits. We anticipate volume growth of 1.5% for the fourth quarter of 2025. Pricing is expected to have had a favorable impact of 3.2%. Our model projects the Pool segment’s sales at $370 million, indicating a year-over-year rise of 4.7%.
We expect the Flow segment’s sales to be $387 million, indicating an increase of 7.4% from the prior-year quarter’s actual. Our model predicts a 1.1% year-over-year increase in volumes backed by improvement in residential, commercial and industrial solutions sales. Pricing is expected to have a positive impact of 3.1% and acquisition, reflecting the contribution of Hydra-stop, is expected to have added 2.8%.
Our model predicts the Water Solutions segment’s net sales to decline 5.4% year over year to $244 million, reflecting the impact of portfolio exits. We expect a 4% dip in volumes, which will likely be offset by a 4.2% rise in pricing. Divestitures are expected to have an impact of 5.7%.
Pentair has been witnessing a tight supply of raw materials, along with rising logistics costs. Despite the weakness in the Water Solutions segment and cost headwinds, the company has delivered margin expansion across its segments, aided by pricing, cost savings and gains from its Transformation initiatives. We expect this to have continued in the fourth quarter as well.
PNR Stock's Price Performance
Pentair shares have gained 2.7% in the past year against the industry’s 3.7% decline.
