The S&P 500 eased 0.8% over the same stretch, leaving POOL roughly 5.78 percentage points behind the benchmark. Trading was uneven early in the week: Tuesday opened near $183.69 but gave way to close at $177.34, Wednesday firmed slightly to $177.92, then Thursday and Friday drifted lower. Friday touched a weekly low of $172.60 before settling at $173.04. There were no major company announcements or results during the week, so the move largely tracked broader market sentiment and flow. ## Analyst Ratings 16 brokers cover Pool at present: 5 rate it buy, 1 has no opinion, 9 say hold, and 1 rates it underperform; none rate it sell. The consensus rating is buy, with a consensus target of $219.50, about 26.85% above the latest price of $173.04. Targets range from $185.00 to $260.00, so dispersion is fairly wide. Pool ranks 1st among 10 distributors in its industry group. ## The Week Ahead The coming week brings a run of US macro data. The New York Fed manufacturing index lands on Tuesday, 15 September, with a prior reading of 20.6 and a forecast of 14.75. Wednesday, 16 September, is busier: NAHB housing market index (prior 35, forecast 34), retail sales, retail sales ex autos, retail sales control group, import price index, and EIA weekly crude inventories are all due. For a company tied to consumer spending and home improvement, retail sales and the housing market index are the most relevant releases to watch. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [POOL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/POOL.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Skylands Capital LLC Makes New $1.19 Million Investment in Pool Corporation $POOL](https://longbridge.com/en/news/302690338.md) - [Pool Corporation $POOL Stake Raised by Compass Wealth Management LLC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/302844627.md) - [Pool (POOL) Reports Earnings Tomorrow: What To Expect](https://longbridge.com/en/news/302496778.md) - [Pool Corp Reports Solid Q3 Growth, Reaffirms Guidance](https://longbridge.com/en/news/302737348.md) - [Pool (POOL) Stock Could Trade At a Discount On a 64% Slide](https://longbridge.com/en/news/302459306.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
