Ecolab (ISIN US2788651006) was trading at EUR 255.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 11:16 a.m. CEST. According to Benzinga on October 5, 2026, UBS raised its price target from USD 342.00 to USD 344.00 and maintained a Buy rating.

Three figures shape the story

Gekko reports that Ecolab generated USD 4.42 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 9.70 percent from the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted earnings per share increased 11.00 percent in the same quarter, giving the target increase a recent operating-growth backdrop.

The company also completed the USD 4.75 billion CoolIT Systems acquisition on July 2, 2026, according to Gekko. The transaction expands Ecolab's exposure to liquid cooling for data centers, but the larger balance-sheet commitment makes execution and integration important measures for upcoming results.

What does the target increase mean?

UBS's USD 344.00 target sits USD 2.00 above its earlier USD 342.00 target, while the latest consensus cited by Gekko was USD 325.05 from 15 firms. The same source listed 13 Buy ratings, 2 Hold ratings and no Sell ratings in its latest coverage snapshot.
