Shares of Hayward Holdings, Inc. (HAYW) soared 10.57% in pre-market trading on Wednesday following the release of the company's impressive third-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2025. The pool equipment manufacturer not only beat analyst expectations but also raised its full-year guidance, signaling strong confidence in its business outlook.

Adding to investor optimism, Hayward raised its full-year 2025 guidance. The company now expects net sales of $1.095 billion to $1.110 billion, representing an increase of approximately 4% to 5.5% from fiscal year 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be between $292 million and $297 million, indicating an increase of about 5% to 7% from the previous year. This upward revision in guidance reflects the company's strong year-to-date performance and solid participation in early buy programs.

Furthermore, Hayward demonstrated improved financial health, with cash flow from operations increasing to $283.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025. The company also reduced its net leverage to 1.8x, the lowest level in over three years, showcasing its strengthened balance sheet.
