Pool Corporation (NasdaqGS:POOL) is looking for acquisitions. During 2024 Investor Day Kristopher Neff, Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development said, "So that gives you a sense of how we intend to grow above market, grow share, expand the pie through these capacity creation initiatives, again, for our customers. Now let's talk about some of our core growth capabilities.

As Pete mentioned, we have a long history of executing acquisitions and expansions extremely effectively. And so our acquisition strategy, our pipeline is built around opportunities to expand geographically. In some cases, acquiring distributors allows us to accelerate our -- or supplement our organic growth plans.

We're also looking at opportunities to expand our private label portfolio through acquisitions and where appropriate, we'll also look at opportunities for vertical integration. And then our sales center expansion strategy. So we've mapped out opportunities over the next 5 years.

So we have plenty of opportunities identified. We do an excellent job of understanding construction trends where growth is happening in markets, where we need to be positioned to be successful". Melanie M. Hart Chief Financial Officer said, "In addition to that, we're going to continue to do the acquisitions.

As Kris mentioned, we're doing those when it makes sense from a culture standpoint, from a particular [ market ] standpoint. We're only going to do those strategically as necessary because we have gotten to the point where we're very, very successful with our greenfield applications. And we know that -- we're going to make sure that we're investing in acquisitions as it makes sense.

We also have a very strong history of continuing to increase our dividends".
