Pool Corp stock drops 47% to $165.21, hits 52-week low

Pool Corporation’s shares reached a new 52-week low of 165.21 USD on September 23, 2026, following a nearly 47% year-over-year decline from its peak of 314.53 USD. Trading briefly above 165.37 USD, the stock remained near its lowest point since the start of the year. The company’s market capitalization stands at $6.05 billion, reflecting its continued volatility in the broader equity market.

In its second-quarter 2026 earnings report, Pool Corp reported adjusted earnings of 5.38 USD per share, slightly exceeding Wall Street’s estimate of 5.34 USD. However, revenue fell short of expectations, recording 1.80 billion USD compared to the anticipated 1.82 billion USD. Year-over-year sales growth was modest at 2.2%, driven by pricing adjustments, steady demand in building materials, and market share gains in its core segments.

Analyst reactions to the stock’s recent performance have been mixed. Stephens lowered its price target from 290 USD to 225 USD while retaining an Overweight rating. Meanwhile, DA Davidson initiated coverage with a neutral stance and set a price target of 210 USD. Despite these adjustments, InvestingPro’s analysis suggested the stock may still be undervalued, placing it among its most undervalued equities.

Pool Corp remains one of over 1,400 US equities tracked by InvestingPro’s research platform, though its recent decline has drawn particular attention from investors monitoring its valuation and market positioning.
