Summary
Ecolab reported second-quarter 2026 sales of $4.4 billion, up 10%, with adjusted diluted EPS of $2.09, up 11%, and raised its full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS outlook to $8.05–$8.25. Chairman, president and CEO Christophe Beck said accelerating pricing, including a newly implemented energy surcharge, offset higher commodity costs, and that the recently closed CoolIT acquisition extends Ecolab's Global High-Tech water technology business into AI infrastructure.
