Wall Street Expectations

Investors are cautiously optimistic about Pentair's upcoming earnings, especially after recent EPS beats. However, the stock's reaction to previous earnings surprises has been mixed, leading to uncertainty.

Bull Case

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be for Q2-2026?
