PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Berger Montague, a leading national plaintiffs’ law firm, announces a class action lawsuit against Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) (“Pentair” or the “Company”) on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Pentair securities during the period from March 11, 2025 through July 14, 2026 (the “Class Period”).
Q&A
What is this lawsuit about?
According to the complaint, between March 11, 2025 and July 14, 2026, Pentair and certain executives failed to disclose that: (1) there was significant destocking of inventory in the Pool channel; and (2) as a result, the Company’s sales and operating income were adversely affected. The truth allegedly began to emerge on July 14, 2026, after the market closed, when Pentair announced preliminary second quarter 2026 financial results, disclosing that Pool channel destocking had reduced Pool segment sales by approximately $170 million and Pool segment income by approximately $105 million. As a result, second quarter 2026 sales were expected to be down 17 percent versus the prior guide of approximately 1 percent growth, and full year 2026 sales were expected to be down approximately 4 percent to 7 percent versus the prior guide of up 2 percent to 4 percent. Pentair also announced the immediate departure of its Chief Financial Officer. On this news, Pentair’s stock price fell $11.35, or 15%, to close at $64.33 per share on July 15, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.
