Republic Services (RSG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Republic Services has demonstrated strong financial performance, with an increase in margins by 80 basis points year-over-year, driven by core business expansion and positive contributions from event-driven volumes. The company reported a solid solid waste adjusted EBITDA of $1.295 billion, reflecting a margin of 34.3%, which significantly exceeded estimates, indicating better operational efficiency. Additionally, Republic Services is poised for continued growth, with anticipations of mid-single digit revenue growth and faster increases in EBITDA, EPS, and free cash flow, alongside expected margin expansion for 2026.
Bears say
The financial analysis indicates a negative outlook for Republic Services due to a significant year-over-year decline in recycled commodity prices, which averaged -29%, coupled with a 7% decrease in Environmental Solutions (ES) revenue and a 26% drop in EBITDA. The outlook remains bleak as the company anticipates a $100 million revenue headwind in 2026 from a lack of recovery in housing and manufacturing activity, resulting in flat to slightly declining volumes. Moreover, ongoing weakness in collection and municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill volumes further underscores the challenges faced by the company, as lower event-driven volumes and softness in manufacturing persist.
