DA Davidson analyst Garik Shmois has initiated coverage on Pool Corporation (POOL), a leading distributor of swimming pool supplies, equipment, and related leisure products. The initiation of coverage by a new analyst firm provides fresh institutional scrutiny and a new valuation perspective for the company.
