Hayward Holdings (HAYW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Hayward Holdings (HAYW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hayward Holdings has demonstrated robust financial performance, with an estimated EPS increase to $0.75 due to higher sales growth and improved margins, particularly in North America. The company is experiencing solid growth momentum, supported by strong margin execution, which has expanded year-over-year by approximately 110 basis points, with further margin improvement expected in 2025. Additionally, Hayward's favorable outlook for 2024 reflects an anticipated sales growth of 3-5%, driven by operational excellence and recovery from one-time headwinds abroad, indicating a resilient demand for its energy-efficient pool equipment and automation systems.
Bears say
Hayward Holdings is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a downward revision of its 2025 adjusted earnings per share estimate to $0.72, driven by unfavorable foreign exchange rates and muted growth from the ongoing high-interest rate environment, which is constraining both remodel and new pool construction. The company's expectations indicate a significant decline in international markets, with forecasts suggesting a drop of approximately 15% in 2024, alongside a projected new construction level in the U.S. at the lowest point in ten years at around 60,000 pools, making recovery uncertain. Additionally, with a consensus growth projection of only 6% for 2025, the potential for exceeding expectations appears limited, further exacerbating concerns about future profitability.
