Revenue trends and margins in the latest quarter
According to a recent quarterly summary for Pool Corporation covering the second quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue stood in the mid-single-digit billions of USD, with management emphasizing that sales performance reflected both pricing discipline and volume normalization after the pandemic boom in pool installations.
In the same Q2 2026 report, Pool Corporation reported that earnings per share remained solidly profitable, with diluted EPS in the range of several dollars per share, and management highlighted that gross margin trends were stable compared with the prior year period, underscoring the companys ability to manage input costs and pricing in a more normalized demand environment.
Guidance and quantified comparison versus prior year
For the full fiscal year 2026, Pool Corporation has reaffirmed a revenue outlook that implies low to mid-single-digit percent growth versus fiscal 2025, indicating that the company expects continued resilience from maintenance and repair demand even as new pool construction has cooled from earlier peaks.
Compared with the prior year, Q2 2026 revenue was modestly lower by a low single-digit percent, but the company noted that the mix of higher-margin maintenance and repair activity helped to support profitability, and the year-over-year comparison reflects a tough base period when demand was unusually strong.
