Republic Services (RSG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Republic Services has demonstrated a robust financial performance, highlighted by an 80 basis points year-over-year increase in margins, driven by core business expansion and event-driven volume contributions. The company reported Solid Waste AEBITDA of $1.295 billion with a 34.3% margin, surpassing expectations and reflecting a strong growth trajectory, particularly in revenue and EBITDA from recycling and waste. Furthermore, the positive outlook for 2026 indicates continued mid-single digit revenue growth, enhanced EBITDA, EPS, and free cash flow growth, along with anticipated margin expansion, positioning Republic Services favorably in the waste management sector.
Bears say
Republic Services is facing significant challenges, reflecting a negative outlook, primarily due to a 29% year-over-year decline in recycled commodity prices and a notable 26% drop in Environmental Solutions revenue and EBITDA, attributed to a downturn in manufacturing and decreased landfill volume. The company anticipates a $100 million headwind in 2026 from declining event-driven revenues, indicating that overall volume may remain flat or slightly decrease without a recovery in housing and manufacturing sectors. Furthermore, despite higher-than-expected adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, Republic Services has only marginally adjusted its full-year revenue outlook and lowered EBITDA margin expansion estimates to a mere 10 basis points, highlighting ongoing headwinds in high-margin project revenues and commodity markets.
