Reason

BofA raised the firm's price target on Ecolab to $314 from $312 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is updating its price targets for Chemicals under its coverage, the analyst tells investors. Commodities face another year of growing oversupply, specialties continue to manage an inconsistent backdrop, and agriculture presents a more mixed setup, the firm adds. BofA highlights that there are areas for optimism, with several possible catalysts for the stocks including PMI indicators shifting positive, rate cuts, and potential capacity rationalization in China. The firm cautions, however, that these catalysts are too new to rely on.

Reason

As previously reported, Evercore ISI upgraded Ecolab to Outperform from In Line with a price target of $300, up from $265. Ecolab is "one of the few businesses in Chemicals with momentum" into 2026, says the analyst, who sees 2026 as the year Ecolab's structural earnings potential becomes more broadly apparent as the Ovivo acquisition closes and Digital monetization scales. The pullback of about 8% after Q3 results on transient softness in Water for paper and industrials offers a better risk-reward, the analyst added.
