<div id="readability-page-1"><p>11:20 AM EST, 12/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:</p><p>Shares of POOL (-30% YTD) have significantly underperformed the Consumer Discretionary index (+5.8% YTD), primarily due to a sluggish housing market that has limited new pool construction activity. Shares now trade at a forward P/E last seen in 2023. At that time, high interest rates, inflation, post-pandemic normalization, and inventory corrections limited EPS growth. We think the setup is slightly more favorable today, with interest rate easing offering a potential boost to the housing market. We are lifting our rating to Buy primarily due to POOL's attractive valuation at current levels. We also see POOL's position as the largest distributor in North America as a key competitive advantage that will help sustain EPS growth through economic cycles, though we think a lower multiple is appropriate given current operating environment challenges. We lower our price target by $34 to $304, 26x (down from 29x) our 2026 EPS estimate. We keep our 2025 EPS estimate at $10.87 and our 2026 EPS estimate at $11.67.</p> <p>MT Newswires does not provide investment advice. Unauthorized reproduction is strictly prohibited.</p></div>
