The lawsuit allege that Pentair and certain officers and/or directors made materially false or misleading statements, or failed to disclose, that: (1) Pentair’s Pool segment was experiencing significant inventory destocking; (2) this destocking was adversely affecting the company’s sales and operating income; and (3) as a result, the company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
