There is no cost or obligation to you.</p>  <p>On April 28, 2026, Pentair projected that second-quarter sales would increase approximately 1% and that full-year sales would grow approximately 2% to 4%. During the accompanying earnings call, management acknowledged that Pool channel partners could reduce purchases during the second and third quarters but stated that the Company had evaluated a wider range of Pool revenue and income scenarios and incorporated those assumptions into its updated guidance. Management further stated that it had reflected the expected second- and third-quarter sell-in pressure in its guidance.</p>  <p>On July 14, 2026, after the market closed, Pentair disclosed that preliminary second-quarter sales were expected to be approximately $930 million, representing a year-over-year decline of approximately 17%, compared with its previous forecast of approximately 1% year-over-year growth. Pentair attributed the results primarily to the adverse impact of Pool channel inventory and estimated that Pool inventory destocking reduced second-quarter Pool sales by approximately $170 million and Pool segment income by approximately $105 million. The Company stated that the inventory realignment with major channel partners was "more pronounced" than previously estimated.</p>  <p>Pentair also substantially reduced its full-year outlook. The Company now expects annual sales to decline approximately 4% to 7%, compared with its previous forecast of 2% to 4% growth, and reduced its adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to approximately $4.60 to $4.80 from approximately $5.30 to $5.40. Pentair estimated that Pool channel destocking and inventory right-sizing would reduce full-year Pool sales by approximately $250 million and Pool segment income by approximately $155 million. The Company separately announced that Chief Financial Officer Nicholas Brazis had departed on July 10, 2026, and that former Pentair CFO Bob Fishman had been appointed interim CFO.</p>  <p>Following the disclosure, Pentair shares declined approximately 22% in premarket trading on July 15, 2026, after closing at $75.68 on July 14.</p>  <p>Attorney advertising.
