Ecolab EVP Larry L Berger sold 10,858 shares ($2.9M) at $266.95; holdings fell 38.4% to 17,385 shares.
Larry L Berger, EVP & Chief Technical Officer, sold 10,858 shares on 2025-02-26 at $266.95, reducing his ECL stake from 28,243 shares to 17,385 shares—a reduction of 38.4% of pre-transaction holdings. The current stock price of $267.18 is 0.1% below the 52-week high of $267.34, placing this sale near the top of the recent trading range. Across all of Berger's open-market trades, his prior sells have demonstrated a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark; his single prior trade at ECL (June 2023) also showed negative 90-day returns (-2.2%), consistent with that pattern. The magnitude of this reduction—nearly 40% of holdings in a single transaction—alongside Ecolab's elevated valuation (P/E 27.15, market cap $75.6B) and modest revenue growth of 2.8% year-over-year, may warrant investor attention to the insider's directional signals.
