Ecolab Inc .

In other recent news, Ecolab Inc. is expected to meet its second-quarter 2025 earnings estimates, according to RBC Capital, which has maintained its Outperform rating with a $294 price target. RBC anticipates a 3% organic growth for the quarter, with pricing increases of 2-3%, and suggests potential for a modest increase in full-year earnings per share guidance due to favorable foreign exchange conditions. Meanwhile, UBS has reaffirmed a Neutral rating with a $271 price target, highlighting Ecolab’s focus on digital and pest control solutions, which saw a 12% growth in digital sales in the first quarter. Ecolab’s management remains confident in achieving a 20% operating income margin by 2027, aligning with consensus estimates. Berenberg has adjusted its price target for Ecolab to $243, maintaining a Hold rating after the company’s first-quarter earnings met expectations. The firm noted that increased revenues from price surcharges and favorable foreign exchange rates were offset by rising costs and slower volume growth. Stifel reduced its price target to $303 but continues to endorse Ecolab with a Buy rating, citing the company’s strategic pricing adjustments and robust supply chain as key factors in navigating tariff challenges. Additionally, Ecolab announced the appointment of former McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) executive Marion Gross to its board, bringing extensive supply chain management experience to support the company’s strategic growth.
