Pentair 3Q 2026: Revenue $976.4M, EPS $0.91— 10-Q Summary

What happened

Pentair reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $976.4 million, down 4.5% from a year earlier. Net income was $145.1 million, down 21.3%, and diluted earnings per share were $0.91 versus $1.12.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Lower sales and profit mean less cash generated from each sale, which can limit how much Pentair can spend on its operations, sourcing and productivity changes. The Taco acquisition also adds integration work and costs as the company tries to grow beyond weaker pool demand.

Analyst inference

Nine-month sales fell 6.6% as dealers sold down stored pool products instead of ordering more. That destocking, which means reducing inventory, finished in September. Flow sales grew 6.7%, partly offsetting the pool decline, while Water Solutions slipped 1.5%.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Pentair said pool channel destocking was complete by September, and it expects growth in 2027. Watch whether pool orders and sales actually recover as that expectation implies. Confirmed
2. Watch the costs and revenue from integrating Taco, acquired October 1, 2026, which adds heating, plumbing and industrial products. Integration expenses could affect profit per sale. Proposed
3. Further cost cuts and sourcing changes are expected in 2026 and beyond. If savings arrive slowly, profit could stay under pressure while sales remain weak. Analyst inference
