POOLCORP to Celebrate 30 Years on Nasdaq by Ringing the Opening Bell
POOLCORP, the world’s largest wholesale distributor of swimming pool supplies, equipment and related leisure products and a member of the S&P 500, will celebrate its 30th anniversary as a publicly listed company by ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite this month.
“Pool Corporation’s growth and success over the past 30 years have been built by our people,” says Peter D. Arvan, president and CEO. “Their tireless dedication has driven, and continues to drive, our success.”
POOLCORP has grown annual sales from $161 million in 1995 to $5.3 billion in 2024 and expanded from around 800 employees to over 6,000. Since its initial listing at $0.92 per share, POOLCORP’S market value has grown to $11 billion today, providing a compounded annual growth rate of 23% in total shareholder return to initial shareholders, double that of the S&P 500. For perspective, an investment of $10,000 at POOLCORP’s initial public offering would be worth around $4.5 million today, including dividend reinvestment.
A livestream of the opening bell will be available on Oct. 28 at 9:15 a.m. EDT at nasdaq.com/marketsite/bell-ringing-ceremony.
