Republic Services (RSG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Republic Services demonstrated a strong financial performance, showcasing an AEBITDA of $1.295 billion with a 34.3% margin, surpassing estimates and indicating robust operational efficiency. The company's solid waste segment also delivered significant year-over-year growth in both revenue and EBITDA, fueled by stabilized demand in the environmental services (ES) sector and an expanding growth pipeline heading into 2026. Additionally, free cash flow surged by 32% year-over-year to $771 million, reinforcing the expectation of mid-single digit revenue growth and margin expansion in the coming years, despite challenges from commodities and macroeconomic conditions.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Republic Services's stock due to a significant decline in recycled commodity prices, which averaged -29% year-over-year, and continued weakness in key segments like manufacturing and landfill activity. Additionally, the company's Environmental Services revenue and EBITDA saw declines of 7% and 26%, respectively, attributed to lower event-driven revenue and overall subdued demand. Furthermore, expected headwinds of $100 million in 2026, alongside only marginal improvements in EBITDA margins and persistent low volumes, underscore a challenging operational environment.
