Pentair’s 2026-Q2 net sales fell 17.0% year over year to $932.6M, driven principally by Pool-channel destocking, while gross margin expanded 170 basis points to 42.4% and the company announced a planned $1.425B Taco acquisition that is expected to increase leverage.

Key risk: Taco integration may not deliver anticipated synergies
Pentair will need to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating Taco’s operations. Delays or unexpected integration difficulties could adversely affect results, and expected revenue synergies, cost savings and operating efficiencies may not be realized fully, on time, or at all.
