Pentair Soars 140% in 5 Years, Eyes Dividend King Status
Pentair, a global leader in water and other fluid solutions, has announced a series of strategic developments. The company has increased its dividend for an impressive 49 consecutive years and is expected to continue this streak, potentially becoming the next Dividend King. Its shares have soared over 140% in the last five years, outpacing the S&P 500.
Pentair's strong financial performance is driven by its focus on water resource sustainability and the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT). The company expects adjusted earnings per share to grow by 10% to 12% in full-year 2025, with analysts projecting a 10% growth in 2026.
Pentair's dividend payout ratio stands at 26.2%, indicating a healthy balance between rewarding shareholders and reinvesting in the business. The company's recent acquisition of Hydra-Stop from Madison Industries for around $280 million is expected to further boost its offerings in the water management sector. With around 500,000 connected devices already deployed, Pentair aims to more than double this number by 2026. The company's use of machine learning for data analytics also positions it well for future growth.
Pentair's commitment to dividend growth, strategic acquisitions, and innovative use of technology have driven its impressive performance. With strong earnings growth projections and a focus on key trends, Pentair is well-positioned for continued success. However, it is important to note that while the company is expected to continue its dividend streak, there is no specific information available regarding its plans to increase the dividend in 2026.
