Ecolab provided fourth-quarter earnings guidance that was in
line with analyst forecasts.
The water, hygiene and infection-prevention services company
said it expects adjusted earnings, which strip out one-time items,
of $1.48 to $1.58 a share for the fourth quarter.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been projecting $1.49 a
share.
Ecolab said it expects to deliver more price growth, volume
growth and gross margin expansion to hit that target. Special
one-time charges during the fourth quarter, largely related to
restructuring, are expected to be about 9 cents a share.
The outlook comes after third-quarter adjusted earnings came in
2 cents above the consensus estimate of analysts polled by
FactSet.
