These Analysts Revise Their Forecasts On Ecolab After Q2 Results

Ecolab Q2: Value Pricing And Cost Optimalization Drive Margin Expansion

I reiterate a Sell rating on Ecolab Inc., due to ongoing weak demand in heavy industrial and paper markets despite management's effective margin expansion strategies. Q2 FY25 results showed modest 3% organic revenue growth and 13% adj. EPS growth, driven by value pricing and cost optimization amid soft end-market demand. My DCF analysis yields a fair value of $218 per share, indicating overvaluation at current levels, even as management targets higher margins and EPS growth.
