Pentair plc (ISIN IE00BLS0VV05) closed at USD 56.0610 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, after touching a 52-week low of USD 55.34. The company also named Bob Hau as its next chief financial officer, adding a management transition to a stock priced 50.8 percent below its 52-week high of USD 113.95.

New CFO starts November 1

According to Pentair on September 22, 2026, Bob Hau will become executive vice president and chief financial officer on November 1, 2026. Interim CFO Bob Fishman will remain with the company through that date to support the transition.

The appointment gives investors a specific checkpoint: the permanent finance chief takes over 40 days after the announcement. The timing also comes before the next estimated quarterly report on October 20, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue pressure contrasts with EPS

Pentair reported adjusted earnings of USD 1.14 per share for the second quarter of 2026, USD 0.02 above the USD 1.12 consensus estimate, while quarterly revenue fell 17.0 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to MarketBeat. That combination is important: earnings exceeded expectations even as the top line contracted.

Recent coverage also links the second-quarter weakness to destocking in the pool business and market-share losses among retailers, while several banks carried differing views on the shares, according to MarketScreener on September 22, 2026. The reported sales decline therefore remains the clearest operating counterweight to the EPS beat.

Dividend date adds a checkpoint

Pentair announced a quarterly cash dividend of USD 0.27 per share on September 21, 2026, payable on November 6, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 23, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The payment date falls five days after Hau is scheduled to begin as CFO.

Pentair stock closed at USD 56.0610 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, with session volume of 5,840,295 shares and market capitalization of USD 8.86 billion. The quoted 52-week range was USD 55.34 to USD 113.95, placing the close USD 0.7210 above the low and USD 57.8890 below the high.
