Pentair trades at 11.3 times EBITDA, the cheapest it has been in the 4 years on file against a median of 18.9, after a 48% price fall over 12 months that took the multiple down 38%. The distinguishing fact is that the earnings power has not broken with the price: gross margin is up 1.7 points year on year, it still keeps 22 cents of every revenue dollar as operating profit, turns 17 cents into free cash and earns 13% on capital, which reads as a destock rather than structural decay. The strongest fact against it is that revenue fell 17% over the year and costs grew 13 points faster than revenue, so the margin hold is being tested by fixed-cost deleverage on a shrinking top line. I sell if gross margin turns down year on year or free cash conversion drops below the mid-teens, because then the revenue decline is reaching the earnings.
