What the Analysts think about Hayward
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Hayward stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Hayward stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Third-quarter sales rose 6% and adjusted EPS rose 29%, beating analyst expectations. Hayward raised its 2026 sales-growth outlook to 5%–6% and adjusted EPS outlook to $0.86–$0.88. (Business Wire)
The large replacement and maintenance business helps cushion weakness in new pool construction: management says aftermarket sales account for more than 85% of North American residential pool sales. It also reported U.S. channel-partner demand, share gains and early-buy orders ahead of last year. (Business Wire)
Connected pool equipment offers a way to grow sales through upgrades to existing pools, not just new builds. Hayward’s OmniX automation platform is being extended across products, and it received a 2026 industry innovation award for its aftermarket advances. (Benzinga, Pool Magazine)
New-pool construction remains a headwind: Hayward said U.S. in-ground pool builds fell more than 20% over the past three years. Weak building activity could constrain equipment demand tied to new installations. (Investing.com)
Inflation and tariffs are pressuring profitability. In the third quarter, cost inflation slightly exceeded pricing benefits in both segments, and gross margin declined modestly in each. (Business Wire)
Growth is uneven outside North America: Europe and rest-of-world sales fell 6% in the quarter, mainly on lower volumes linked to geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. Management also said it remains cautious about those markets amid continuing uncertainty. (Business Wire, Investing.com)
