Stifel analyst Andrew Carter reiterated a Hold rating on Pool Corp (NASDAQ: POOL).

The analyst commented, "We are highlighting a more positive bias to Pool Corporation (POOL; $217.98; Hold) shares ahead of earnings with our 1Q25 Pool Professionals Survey suggesting a stable to inflecting category with the improvement in NTM expectations for new pool construction and remodel notable given sentiment regressed across a number of other cohorts. Subsequent to our survey, we followed up with pool professionals who purchase from both POOL and Heritage branches about spending intentions at the two with two separate questions asking around expectations for percentage of total spending for each supplier over the next twelve months with three options: no change, increase and decrease. We outline results... which suggest Heritage gains but at a modest level that we believe does not suggest an added pressure point from wallet share gains."
