Pentair

Pentair is a water treatment and management company, supplying filtration, pumps, pool equipment and related systems to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Its focus on the movement, treatment and reuse of water aligns it with long-term themes of water scarcity and quality, giving its markets a durable, structural tailwind. Pentair has increased its dividend for more than three decades, a record built across its history as a diversified industrial and its later focus on water. The yield is low, but the payout is well covered and the streak of annual increases is exceptionally long. Its solid score reflects a dependable dividend grower whose steady, if modest, income is backed by a resilient business tied to an essential resource.
