Pentair: A Tough Quarter For Investors
Summary Pentair faces a tough quarter with a 17% sales drop and significant pool channel inventory destocking, but expectations appear reset and manageable. Pentair trades at 13-14x earnings with modest leverage, following aggressive buybacks and a $1.425B acquisition of Taco Group Holdings at 10.5x EBITDA. The Taco deal is expected to be accretive by $0.10-$0.15 per share post-synergies but raises leverage to 2.4x, limiting further buybacks near term. Despite turmoil, I find Pentair's shares compelling at current levels, anticipating re-rating as stabilization and integration progress. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
