Pool Corp (POOL) PT Lowered to $315 at Loop Capital

Loop Capital analyst Garik Shmois lowered the price target on Pool Corp (NASDAQ: POOL) to $315.00 (from $330.00) while maintaining a Hold rating.

The analyst commented: "POOL reported a weaker than expected 1Q25 with EPS coming in below our inline with consensus estimate. Both sales and gross margin missed but were partially offset by lower than expected SG&A expenses. Management spoke to a challenging January and February weather environment, but saw a pickup in March. Large ticket-new pool construction and the R&R market were soft in the quarter and are likely to remain challenged as consumer confidence and affordability are unlikely to abate any time soon. Although the company reported a miss, the full year guidance was reiterated though we sense investors are already baking in a guidance cut on weaker large ticket demand, negative mix, and incremental pricing pressure that could offset new equipment price increases. Overall, we remain Hold rated with a $315 (-$15) as visibility to an improving macro and stabilizing large ticket demand-which drives sentiment more than anything-is limited at this time."
