As previously reported, BofA analyst Andrew Obin downgraded Pentair (PNR) to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $100, down from $106. While acknowledging that pool sales are growing, the firm thinks weak consumer spending and weak residential construction will drag the rest of the portfolio, the analyst tells investors. Pentair’s earnings trajectory has been strong, driven by execution and pricing, but the firm thinks investors and consensus have priced in upside, the analyst added.
