Pool Corp. Hits 52-Week Low at USD 204.16 Amidst 37% Decline

Pool Corp., a small-cap player in the Trading & Distributors industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 204.16 as of March 9, 2026. This decline marks a significant downturn, with the stock's performance over the past year reflecting a decrease of 37.35%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 17.78% during the same period. Despite the recent price drop, Pool Corp. maintains a market capitalization of USD 8,255 million and a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 27.00. The company offers a dividend yield of 2.27% and demonstrates a robust return on equity of 34.13%. However, its operating cash flow has recently hit a low of USD 365.85 million, and the debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.01, indicating a balanced approach to leveraging. The stock has consistently underperformed against the S&P 500 over the last three years, with a notable return of -40.16% in the past year. High institutional holdings at 100% suggest a strong backing from investors who typically have the resources to analyze company fundamentals effectively.
