Stifel comments further on Hayward Holdings amid Pentair commentary

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:05:50 -0400

Stifel analyst Andrew Carter reiterated a Buy rating and $19.50 price target on Hayward Holdings Inc (NYSE: HAYW).

Carter also commented that Pentair's (NYSE: PNR) negative revision was attributed
