Ecolab Inc.

Ecolab Inc. is among the world’s largest Specialty Chemicals sector businesses in the world.  Ecolab Inc.’s employees generate $380.2M in profits on $5.030B of revenue.  Global output in the Specialty Chemicals business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Ecolab Inc. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Specialty Chemicals segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Ecolab Inc.’s ticker symbol ECL has recently been trading near $43.30 a share.  The Ecolab Inc. corporate headquarters in St Paul, MN predicts Specialty Chemicals profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $10.689B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.22, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, Ecolab Inc. moves less aggressively.
