If you believe ECL can sustain its current premium despite only moderate growth and middling quality scores, then hold or underweight rather than add because BMY comparison and DCF range both imply substantial downside from $256.02.
ECL trades at a clear premium to BMY on earnings, sales, and enterprise value multiples, while the model-implied price of $120.35 is far below the current $256.02 share price. The gap is driven by ECL’s much richer P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue multiples versus BMY, despite only modestly better revenue growth.
