Pentair plc reported Q2 2026 net sales of $932.6 million, down from $1,123.1 million a year earlier, with net income of $128.6 million. Gross margin improved to 42.4% as higher pricing, productivity and $34.9 million of IEEPA tariff refunds more than offset inflation and lower volume. Operating income margin slipped to 17.9% due to higher restructuring and Transformation Program spending.
Flow and Water Solutions delivered higher or stable sales and stronger margins, aided by the 2025 Hydra‑Stop acquisition and tariff refunds. The Pool segment was weak: Q2 sales fell 42.3% to $246.6 million and margin dropped to 23.4%, driven by channel destocking and softer demand. Pentair estimates Pool channel destocking will reduce 2026 net sales by about $250 million, with timing of normalization uncertain.
Cash from operations was $504.4 million in the first half of 2026, supporting $37.4 million of capex, $348.2 million of share repurchases and $87.5 million of dividends, while total debt stood at $1,620.0 million. The company continues a multi‑year restructuring and Transformation Program and, subsequent to quarter‑end, agreed to acquire Taco Group Holdings for $1.425 billion, to be funded with cash and a committed $1.4 billion bridge facility ahead of a planned permanent debt issuance.
Pentair plc reported second quarter 2026 net sales of $933 million, down 17% year over year, with core sales also down 17%.

Operating income was $167 million, a 24% decline, and results included about $35 million of International Emergency Economic Powers Act refunds.
Segment trends diverged: Flow sales rose 5% with segment income up 27%, while Water Solutions sales fell 5% but income rose 17%. Pool sales dropped 42% and segment income fell 62% amid a sharp channel inventory reset and softer conditions. Free cash flow was $553 million. Pentair paid a $0.27 dividend, marking its 50th consecutive yearly increase, and repurchased $150 million of shares, leaving $650 million authorized.
The company now guides 2026 GAAP EPS to approximately $3.86–$4.06 and adjusted EPS to $4.60–$4.80, with full-year sales expected to decline 4–7% and third-quarter EPS projected to be down double digits. It also disclosed a definitive agreement to acquire Taco Group Holdings.
