Yep it's pearling. I find that excel does not usually cause pearling. In your case probably a combination of trimming the plant and a water change. New water often contains an abundance of gases including oxygen. When there is sufficient oxygen saturation in the water, any oxygen produced by the plants will not dissolve into solution and get released in a gas form (bubbles). Also, cuts and damaged leaves are a convenient way for oxygen to leave the plant.
See if the pearling repeats itself tomorrow and the next few days. If not then it might be related to the water change. If so, then cool. Either way, pearling or not, the plants look very healthy in there.
