If you believe POOL can stabilize revenue growth and narrow its margin gap versus HD, then POOL looks attractive to own because it already trades at a lower P/E, P/S, and EV/EBITDA despite maintaining solid ROIC and moderate leverage.
POOL trades at a meaningful discount to HD on every listed valuation metric, despite comparable business quality in margins and returns. The implied price of $257.33 suggests about 34.4% upside versus the current price of $191.54, though the DCF range is much lower than HD-implied range, creating a valuation cross-check conflict.
