Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Pool Corporation’s current debt-to-equity ratio of 1.10x means the company uses $1.10 in debt for every $1.00 of shareholder equity, showing a moderate reliance on borrowed funds.

Among Industrials peers, this ratio is higher than the sector median of 0.72x, placing Pool in the 70th percentile — meaning it uses more debt than 70% of its industry. The trend data is not available, with no year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter changes provided, so no direction can be assessed. The combination of an elevated debt level relative to peers and the absence of a trend makes it difficult to judge whether leverage is increasing or decreasing, which introduces uncertainty about financial risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the debt ratio is above the sector median but not extreme, and without a trend, it neither confirms a clear risk nor a clear advantage.
