Hayward Holdings (HAYW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Hayward Holdings (HAYW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Hayward Holdings has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability during the COVID-era surge in the pool category, capitalizing on increased demand for its energy-efficient swimming pool equipment and automation systems. With approximately $1.1 billion in revenue generated in 2024, the company is well-positioned to leverage strong pricing power and a robust margin structure amid the rising preference for homes with pools, which surged from 25% to 35% among homebuyers between 2019 and 2021. Furthermore, Hayward's flexible manufacturing capabilities enhance its ability to meet ongoing demand, reinforcing a positive outlook for sustainable growth in the swimming pool industry.
Bears say
Hayward Holdings is experiencing a challenging market environment characterized by depressed new construction levels, leading to a notable decline in new pool construction by 4%, with units decreasing to 62,000, or a 14% year-over-year drop. Additionally, the installed base of pool equipment has remained stagnant over the past two years, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of only 0.2% from 2022 to 2024. This combination of declining new construction and flat installed base growth raises concerns about future revenue potential for the company.
