Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from ECL's reported EPS growth of 8.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $11.22
- Implied price
- $403.96
- Return from $273.70
- 8.1% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $200.84 — -26.6% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 26 | 31 | 36 | 41 | 46 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -1.1% | -8.0% | -4.7% | -1.8% | 0.8% | 3.1% |
| 3.9% | -3.4% | 0.1% | 3.1% | 5.9% | 8.3% |
| 8.9% | 1.3% | 4.9% | 8.1% | 10.9% | 13.5% |
| 13.9% | 5.9% | 9.7% | 13.1% | 16.0% | 18.7% |
| 18.9% | 10.6% | 14.5% | 18.0% | 21.1% | 24.0% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

88 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
