Soleil Securities Maintains a 'Buy' on Ecolab (ECL); Raises PT
Soleil Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), raises price target from $45 to $50.
Soleil analyst says, "3Q09 EPS of $0.61 from operations, up 11% from 3Q08's $0.51, were in-line with expectations for $0.60. Ecolab essentially left unchanged the midpoint of its 2009 EPS guidance of $2.00E...We bump up our ECL price target to $50 from $45 as we increase our sustainable EPS growth rate assumption from 13% to 14% per year. For 2010E, favorable pricing should ease, cost-cutting should slow, but restaurant traffic & rooms occupied should inch up, and both raws and FX should turn positive."
