Pentair, a water treatment and pool pump company, saw its stock rise 12.8% on October 27, 2026, its best day in over six years, after analysts labeled it an AI-related stock due to its exposure to data centers via its recent acquisition of Taco Group Holdings. However, the company did not mention AI in its earnings release or call, and data center revenue details were not disclosed. Pentair reported a slight sales decline but beat earnings expectations, with pool sales down 18% due to inventory adjustments. The acquisition of Taco expands Pentair's reach into HVAC and data centers, though it remains a small part of overall revenue. Investors should watch for the 2027 guidance update in February to assess the sustainability of the rally and the true impact of data center exposure.
