Ecolab: Soft Demands In Heavy Industrial, Overvalued Stock Price
ECL
Published: May 05, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I reiterate a Sell rating on Ecolab Inc., citing overvaluation despite 3% organic revenue growth and margin improvements, with a fair value of $206 per share. Ecolab's local-for-local strategy and pricing power effectively mitigate tariff impacts, but softness in heavy industrial markets will persist into FY25. Ecolab's focus on digital technology and productivity improvements is expected to drive margin expansion, with projected 12-15% adjusted EPS growth in FY25.
