1
The Basics
U.S. wholesale distributor · mid-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Louisiana.

AI Insight: POOL Financial Trends

Pool Corp's top line is effectively flat year-over-year while debt has risen ~22% since Q2 2024, compressing equity and signaling growing balance-sheet strain.

• Revenue growth is negligible: Q1 2026 at $1,138M vs. Q1 2025 at $1,072M (+6%) and Q2 2025 at $1,785M vs. Q2 2024 at $1,770M (+0.8%).

• Operating margins are holding steady year-over-year: Q2 op income $273M vs. $271M; Q3 $178M vs. $176M — essentially flat.

• Total debt rose from $924M in Q3 2024 to $1,248M in Q1 2026, a $324M increase, while equity fell from $1,433M to $1,133M over the same span.

• Operating cash flow turned negative at -$29M in Q2 2025 versus positive $27M in Q2 2024, signaling working-capital pressure at peak season.

⚠ Debt-to-equity has deteriorated sharply — from 0.64x in Q3 2024 to 1.10x in Q1 2026. Continued rise would materially increase refinancing risk.

⚠ Q4 2025 operating income fell to $52M vs. $61M in Q4 2024 — the one quarter showing year-over-year margin compression. Monitor for widening.

⚠ Seasonal peak-quarter (Q2) OCF swung negative in 2025; recovery in Q3 2025 to $287M vs. $317M in Q3 2024 bears watching for full-year FCF trajectory.

AI Insight: POOL Ratio Trends

Pool Corp's profitability metrics are largely flat year-over-year but D/E has risen to 1.10, the highest level in the dataset, signaling incremental balance-sheet pressure.

• Operating margin in Q1 2026 (7.3%) is nearly unchanged from Q1 2025 (7.2%), suggesting no meaningful improvement in core profitability.

• NPM compressed from 5.0% in Q1 2025 to 4.7% in Q1 2026, a modest but directionally negative move.

• ROIC in Q4 2025 (8.7%) declined from Q4 2024 (10.9%), continuing a year-over-year step-down in the seasonally weakest quarter.

• Peak-season metrics (Q2 2025) held steady: OpMargin 15.3% and ROIC 43.1% virtually matched Q2 2024 levels of 15.3% and 42.8%.

⚠ D/E has risen from 0.64 in Q3 2024 to 1.10 in Q1 2026 — the highest in the dataset — worth monitoring for cost-of-capital implications.

⚠ ROA in Q1 2026 (5.3%) is below Q1 2025 (5.8%), suggesting asset efficiency is not improving despite stable top-line seasonality.

⚠ TTM OpMargin of 10.9% trails the Q2 2024 peak of 15.3%; recovery to prior peak margins would be a key bullish inflection to watch.
