Pentair plc (ISIN IE00BLS09M33) completed its USD 1.40 billion acquisition of Taco Group Holdings on October 1, 2026, and declared a USD 0.27 quarterly dividend per share. Pentair said Taco will join its Water Solutions segment and retain its brand.

Taco adds a new growth leg

The acquisition brings hydronic and water-based solutions into Pentair's portfolio and is intended to expand customer access, cross-selling opportunities and revenue streams. The USD 1.40 billion transaction is subject to customary adjustments, while Taco will keep a significant presence in Cranston, Rhode Island.

The deal follows a difficult second quarter. Stock Titan reported that Pentair's second-quarter 2026 net sales fell 17.00 percent year over year to USD 933 million, while adjusted earnings per share declined to USD 1.14 from USD 1.39.

Pool weakness meets leadership change

The operating split was material in the second quarter of 2026: Pool sales fell 42.00 percent, while Flow sales rose 5.00 percent and Water Solutions sales fell 5.00 percent, according to Stock Titan. That contrast makes Taco's integration into Water Solutions the clearest operating question around the acquisition.

Leadership is also changing. In its September 22, 2026 release, Pentair named Bob Hau executive vice president and chief financial officer effective November 1, 2026, replacing interim CFO Bob Fishman. The company also announced on September 21, 2026 that it will pay a USD 0.27 dividend on November 6, 2026 to shareholders of record on October 23, 2026, according to Business Wire.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Pentair's primary listing is on the NYSE, where the stock was last at USD 52.78 on October 5, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Its USD 51.76 to USD 113.03 52-week range shows that the latest primary-exchange quote sits near the lower end of the yearly band, while the market capitalization was USD 8.4 billion as of October 5, 2026.

At Lang & Schwarz, Pentair stock was trading at EUR 47.12 on October 6, 2026 at 2:08 p.m. CEST, down 0.53 percent versus the prior close of EUR 47.37 on October 5, 2026. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Pentair plc stock.
