Johnson Fistel, PLLP is investigating Pentair plc on behalf of shareholders who suffered losses, following the company's sharp guidance revision. On July 14, 2026, Pentair disclosed preliminary second-quarter sales of approximately $930 million, a year-over-year decline of roughly 17%, versus its prior forecast of about 1% growth, attributing the miss to more pronounced Pool channel inventory destocking that reduced second-quarter Pool sales by approximately $170 million and Pool segment income by approximately $105 million. The company also slashed its full-year outlook, now expecting annual sales to decline approximately 4% to 7% compared with its previous forecast of 2% to 4% growth, and lowered adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to approximately $4.60 to $4.80 from approximately $5.30 to $5.40, while estimating that full-year Pool channel destocking would reduce Pool sales by approximately $250 million and Pool segment income by approximately $155 million. Pentair additionally announced the departure of CFO Nicholas Brazis and the appointment of former CFO Bob Fishman as interim CFO. Following the disclosure, Pentair shares fell approximately 22% in premarket trading on July 15, 2026.
