Description: HAYW Hayward Holdings November 09, 2025

Hayward Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:HAYW) designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of residential and commercial pool equipment-including pumps, filters, robotic cleaners, heaters, water sanitizers, and LED lighting-across North America, Europe, and other international markets. The company distributes its products through specialty distributors, retailers, pool builders, and buying groups, leveraging a legacy brand that dates back to its 1925 founding in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue rose ~7% year-over-year to $1.02 billion, while adjusted EBITDA margin held near 14%, reflecting stable pricing power despite raw-material cost pressures. The residential pool segment accounts for roughly 70% of sales, making the business sensitive to housing-starts trends and discretionary-spending cycles. Additionally, the growing consumer focus on energy-efficient solutions-such as heat-pump heaters and LED illumination-acts as a sector tailwind, driving incremental demand for higher-margin, technology-enabled products.
