Why Latham Group Shares Bounced This Week
Shares of Latham Group (NASDAQ: SWIM) were up 9.1% on the week as of the close of trading on Thursday. The entire niche is seen as challenged due to rising raw material costs, weakening consumer spending, and the difficulty of overcoming tough comparisons with 2021, when stay-at-home measures boosted spending on home improvements such as pools. Indeed, for the third quarter, Pentair reported a 4% decline in its consumer solutions sales relating to pools.
