What happened

Pentair reported third-quarter results with sales down 4.5% to $976.4 million and net income of $145.1 million, or $0.91 per share. That compares with sales of $1.022 billion and net income of $184.3 million, or $1.12 per share, a year earlier.

Global impact / market context

The company made less money than a year ago. When both sales and profit fall, the business is smaller and less profitable, which can make the shares less appealing to people who own them or are thinking of buying.

What to watch

  1. Check the next quarterly report to see if sales keep falling, because a continued drop would show the business is still shrinking.
  2. Check whether adjusted earnings per share, which was $1.18 versus $1.24 a year earlier, keeps falling, because it shows the profit trend more clearly.
  3. Check whether core sales recover, since core sales fell 5 percent after leaving out currency changes and deals, and it shows how the underlying business is doing.
