Ecolab stock reports 9.7 percent revenue growth in Q2 2026

Ecolab stock stood at USD 276.72 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, up 0.18 percent from the prior close. The latest second-quarter figures showed adjusted EPS of USD 2.09 against USD 2.08 consensus, while revenue rose 9.7 percent to USD 4.42 billion, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue growth reaches 9.7 percent

The Q2 comparison gives Ecolab a clear operating reference: revenue reached USD 4.42 billion, while adjusted earnings exceeded the USD 2.08 consensus by USD 0.01 per share. The result came from the reporting period ended June 30, 2026, and provides a more useful benchmark than the share price alone.

The earnings profile also includes a cash-return element. Ecolab declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.73, equal to USD 2.92 on an annualized basis, according to the same MarketBeat report.

Guidance sets the next test

Management's third-quarter adjusted EPS guidance is USD 2.13 to USD 2.23. The range sits above the Q2 adjusted EPS result of USD 2.09, so the next reporting period will show whether the recent earnings level can continue into the second half of 2026.

Ecolab also raised its full-year adjusted EPS outlook to USD 8.05 to USD 8.25 from its previous outlook, according to Investing.com. That upgrade gives the stock a forward-looking earnings reference alongside the completed Q2 numbers.

Stock stays 10.5 percent below high

At USD 276.72 on September 23, 2026, Ecolab stock was 10.5 percent below its 52-week high of USD 309.27 and 13.8 percent above its 52-week low of USD 243.15. Its market capitalization was USD 77.88 billion on the same date.

The market snapshot places the stock below its yearly peak despite the 9.7 percent revenue increase and the higher full-year earnings outlook. For investors, the key comparison is now between the USD 8.05 to USD 8.25 annual adjusted EPS guidance and the USD 276.72 share price.
