What Pool Corp. reported on October 22, 2026
The quarter ending September 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
What Pool Corp. expects
Pool Corp.’s own guidance, from its results release of October 22, 2026. It is the company’s statement of what it expects, not a forecast of ours.
Fiscal year 2026 · ending around December 2026

- $10.87 to $11.17
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $1.5B | $1.5B | +3.71% |
| Profit | $123M | $127M | -3.13% |
| Profit per share | $3.40 | $3.40 | 0.00% |
| Free Cash Flow | $407.4M | $266.6M | +52.83% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said
“Building on our performance through the first half of the year, we delivered solid results in the third quarter of 2026 as we moved through the end of the peak selling season. Our dedicated teams produced top-line growth by delivering to our customers when they needed it the most. At the same time, we remained committed to disciplined capital allocation, reducing inventory by 3% while growing sales. Through the first nine months of the year, we generated $419.8 million in operating cash flows, and in the third quarter alone we returned $158.7 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. As the industry leader, we are focused on supporting our partners to collectively grow the outdoor living industry, efficiently bringing new products to market and offering the best value proposition to our customers,”
