Foolish take
JGP Wealth Management continued to pare down its stake in Pool Corp last quarter as it sold another $2.8 million worth of the stock.
In 2023, the firm's portfolio allocation to Pool was 2.3%. However, JGP has consistently been a seller of the stock since then, and it now only accounts for 0.9% of the portfolio.
Fueled by a pandemic-aided run, Pool rocketed to new all-time highs of over $500 per share in 2021. Since then, Pool's stock has sold off 50% due to rising interest rates, a tougher housing environment, and reduced demand following its almost exorbitant sales growth in 2020 and 2021.
While I can understand why JGP is selling Pool, with the stock essentially going nowhere for three years, I'd argue now is the time to buy the company.
Pool remains the leader in its niche and could be poised to see its sales growth restart if lower interest rates actually come to fruition and spark some movement in the housing market.
If not, Pool still generates roughly two-thirds of its revenue from non-discretionary maintenance and repair purchases, so it'll survive to see brighter days. Receiving a 1.7% dividend yield while I wait, I'll happily keep holding and adding to my daughter's Pool shares.
