Mizuho
Outperform
maintain
$285 -> $305
2025-07-15
Reason
Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Ecolab to $305 from $285 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm updated price targets in chemicals and packaging ahead of the Q2 reports. It says the new targets reflect the recent market multiple recovery. Mizuho's top picks are all specialty and defensive names: Corteva (CTVA), Crown (CCK) and Linde (LIN). A pause in tariffs likely pulled forward some demand, which could create a year-end slowdown, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
UBS
Neutral
maintain
$271 -> $288
2025-07-09
Reason
UBS raised the firm's price target on Ecolab to $288 from $271 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Better than feared tariff impacts could support downstream firms in the quarter, while commodities are likely to remain under pressure with weaker demand trends, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
Citi
Buy
upgrade
$285 -> $320
2025-07-03
Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Ecolab to $320 from $285 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Driven by strong underlying growth in the Institutional and Life Sciences segments, the firm sees Ecolab "comfortably" hitting its Q2 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.89, the analyst tells investors in a preview for the firm's North America specialty chemicals coverage.

$250 -> $260
2025-05-20
Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Jason Haas raised the firm's price target on Ecolab to $260 from $250 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm attended the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago where it had the opportunity to meet with COO Darrell Brown and CFO Scott Kirkland. Management remains confident in Ecolab's ability to price its way through soft end-markets.
