Covington, Louisiana-based Pool Corporation (POOL) is the world’s largest wholesale distributor of swimming pool supplies, equipment, and outdoor living products. With a market cap of $11.9 billion, it serves service professionals, builders, remodelers, retailers, and commercial operators through an extensive distribution network.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are typically referred to as "large-cap stocks." POOL fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the industrial distribution industry. Its business is anchored by recurring revenue from pool maintenance and repair, complemented by remodelling and new construction sales. The company also benefits from scale, product variety, and strong vendor relationships.
