If you believe ECL’s slower 2.2% revenue growth can persist without a major rerating of its 38.1x P/E, then buying ECL makes sense because it still offers 31.3% LLY-implied upside and trades well below LLY on every major valuation multiple.
ECL trades well below LLY-implied value of $364.43, implying 31.3% upside from the current price of $277.63. The gap is driven by LLY’s much higher growth and richer margins, but ECL still screens at materially lower valuation multiples than LLY across P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue.
