About PENTAIR plc

Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) is a U.S.-listed industrial company focused on water-related solutions, placing it at the intersection of infrastructure, sustainability, and operational efficiency. The company was founded in 1966 in suburban St. Paul, Minnesota, by five founders, and its name reflects the original concept of “penta” and “air,” tied to the products they initially intended to manufacture. Over time, Pentair has strategically reshaped itself into a water-focused business, serving customers in more than 150 countries with a global workforce of roughly 9,000 employees. For international investors, it is important to note that Pentair trades on the NYSE in the United States. ([pentair.com](https://www.pentair.com/en-us/about-pentair.html)) Pentair’s operating model is organized around three core platforms: Pentair Flow, Pentair Water Solutions, and Pentair Pool. This structure gives the group exposure to residential, commercial, and industrial end markets. Pentair Flow is designed to optimize the movement of essential resources while protecting people, property, and the future of the planet; Water Solutions addresses water quality and environmental impact; and Pentair Pool serves the pool market with products intended to make water use safer and more sustainable. In practical terms, Pentair sells systems, equipment, and services for water transport, treatment, control, and end-use applications. ([pentair.com](https://www.pentair.com/en-us/about-pentair.html)) From a competitive standpoint, Pentair occupies a specialist position in a highly fragmented market, but one supported by durable secular drivers: aging water infrastructure, growing demand for water quality solutions, municipal network investment, and long-term water scarcity concerns. Its recent Hydra-Stop acquisition, completed in September 2025, strengthens its municipal and utility offering in the United States by adding specialty insertion valves, line stop fittings, and installation equipment for water service providers and municipalities. That move broadens the company’s exposure to critical infrastructure replacement and network maintenance needs.

In February 2026, Pentair reported strong full-year 2025 results, including approximately $4.2 billion in revenue, margin expansion, and solid cash generation, while continuing a long history of dividend growth. Management also announced new executive leadership roles aimed at accelerating growth, strengthening innovation, and improving customer responsiveness. For investors, Pentair stands out as a quality industrial franchise with a resilient water portfolio, a disciplined capital allocation profile, and meaningful exposure to a structural theme with long runway.
