POOL CORP

Pool Corp (POOL) announced its Q1 2025 earnings release for April 24th [2]. Despite exceeding Q4 2024 revenue expectations and strategic investments in digital platforms and expansion [7], the company faces headwinds including lowered analyst estimates for 2025 earnings, declining organic revenue, and concerns about return on capital employed [3], [4], [6]. While Berkshire Hathaway increased its stake in POOL during Q4 2024, demonstrating confidence in long-term prospects [5], potential tariff-related cost increases and a recent decrease in quarterly sales add to the challenges [1]. The company's ability to manage these issues and navigate a slowing housing market will be crucial for future performance.
