Pentair investors saw FY2026 earnings expectations reset after the Company moved from a $5.30-$5.40 adjusted EPS range to $4.60-$4.80 adjusted EPS and $3.90-$4.10 GAAP EPS. The investigation focuses on investor losses tied to the earnings-number reset.
NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) investors were hit on July 14-15, 2026 as shares fell after the Company cut FY2026 earnings guidance by roughly 30%, moving GAAP EPS to $3.90-$4.10 and adjusted EPS to $4.60-$4.80. Investors who held PNR through the July reset may have losses tied to that earnings-number change. Affected PNR shareholders are encouraged to submit your PNR loss information.

Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential securities law violations involving the earnings figures Pentair presented to investors before the July reset.
On April 28, 2026, Chief Executive Officer John L. Stauch told investors: “For the full year, we are increasing our adjusted EPS guidance midpoint to approximately $5.35, with a range of $5.30 to $5.40.” The July reset put adjusted EPS at $4.60-$4.80, a midpoint of $4.70, about $0.65 below the April midpoint.
Pentair’s July update also placed GAAP EPS at $3.90-$4.10 while adjusted EPS was set at $4.60-$4.80. At the midpoint, adjusted EPS was $0.70 per share higher than GAAP EPS, and PNR shares moved lower after investors received the reset.
