Second-quarter revenue reached USD 1.82 billion

For the second quarter of 2026, Pool Corporation reported revenue of USD 1.82 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 5.38, compared with a USD 5.34 consensus estimate, according to Investing.com. The same report listed gross margin at 29.70 percent, down from 30.00 percent in the year-earlier quarter, making margin performance the central operating counterweight to the earnings-per-share result.

Investing.com also reported that Pool Corporation reaffirmed adjusted full-year 2026 earnings-per-share guidance of USD 10.87 billion? No, the source states USD 10.87 to USD 11.17 per share. The guidance range is therefore USD 10.87 to USD 11.17 per share, not a revenue forecast, and the company expects low-single-digit revenue growth with pricing contributing 2.00 to 3.00 percent.
