Academic risk and quality models computed from ECL's own filings and price history, not from analyst opinion.

Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 42% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.
The stock’s own historical valuation anchor, which is a fairer comparison than a sector average for a company with a persistent premium or discount.
