Pentair's week is dominated by a wave of securities class action deadline notices from multiple law firms, all pointing to an October 2, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline tied to allegations concerning the company's "80/20 program" and statements made between March 11, 2025 and July 14, 2026. These are legal solicitations rather than company disclosures, but they concern the same underlying period covered by the litigation.
