A roughly 2.6x revenue purchase price implies a premium multiple even against Taco's above-20% EBITDA margins
22% confidencePentair agreed to acquire Taco Group Holdings for approximately $1.4 billion in July 2026, with Taco expected to generate around $540 million in FY2026 revenue at Adjusted EBITDA margins above 20%, implying a purchase price of roughly 2.6 times revenue.
This is InsightNodes' own interpretive read: Pentair's $1.4 billion price for Taco against Taco's expected ~$540 million FY2026 revenue works out to roughly 2.6x revenue, a meaningful premium even accounting for Taco's above-20% Adjusted EBITDA margins. That's consistent with strong strategic demand for AI-linked data center cooling assets, but it also raises the bar for how quickly the deal needs to contribute to Pentair's own growth to justify the multiple paid.
