Insights
Berkshire reports an 8.2% passive ownership stake in Pool.
Warren E. Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and related insurance entities report beneficial ownership of 3,068,885 Pool Corporation common shares, representing 8.2% of the class. All voting and dispositive authority is described as shared, with no sole power reported.
The certification states the shares were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not to change or influence control. This characterizes the position as a passive investment under Schedule 13G, rather than an activist or control-seeking stake.
Subsequent ownership reports will show whether this percentage changes from the 12/31/2025 level of 8.2%. Any future switch from a passive to an active intent would typically require a different reporting framework.
