Hayward shares rose 1.7% in the morning to $15.00, recovering from the industry-wide sell-off triggered by Pentair’s disappointing preliminary quarterly results. Analysts consider the pullback overdone, especially since Hayward posted double-digit revenue and earnings growth in the last quarter. A weaker-than-expected producer price index and the upcoming H2-2026 report on July 29 are generating additional buying interest and making the stock more attractive to bargain hunters. » Mais em de.investing.com
