Pentair plc (ISIN IE00BLS0VV05) stock closed at USD 53.66 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, gaining 1.19 percent from the previous close. The latest corporate signal is a finance leadership change, as StockTitan reported on September 22, 2026, that Bob Hau will become chief financial officer on November 1, 2026.

New CFO arrives November 1

Bob Hau succeeds interim CFO Bob Fishman and brings more than 16 years of public-company CFO experience, according to StockTitan. The appointment gives Pentair a permanent finance chief while investors assess the impact of weaker Pool-channel demand on the 2026 outlook.

Pentair's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 932.60 million, down 17.0 percent from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted EPS was USD 1.14 versus a USD 1.12 consensus estimate, MarketBeat reported on September 15, 2026. The earnings mix matters: the company exceeded the adjusted EPS estimate even as revenue missed the USD 943.24 million consensus figure.

Guidance remains sharply lower

MarketBeat listed a consensus Hold rating from 18 firms, including eight Buy, six Hold and four Sell recommendations. Its average 12-month price target was USD 89.94, compared with Pentair's USD 53.66 closing price on September 25, 2026, placing the target 67.60 percent above the stock price.

The operating reset remains the central risk. Pentair's 2026 adjusted EPS guidance stands at USD 4.60 to USD 4.80, while full-year sales are projected to decline 4 to 7 percent after Pool-channel destocking disrupted the prior outlook.

Dividend and earnings dates set

Pentair announced on September 21, 2026, that it will pay a USD 0.27 quarterly dividend on November 6, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 23, 2026. The company has increased its dividend for 50 consecutive years.

Stock stays near its yearly low

Pentair stock stood at a closing price of USD 53.66 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 52.64 to USD 113.95. Market capitalization was USD 8.6 billion, making the upcoming October 20, 2026, Q3 report the next major scheduled checkpoint for the shares.
