Republic Services (RSG) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Republic Services demonstrated a strong performance with an adjusted EBITDA of $1.383 billion and a margin increase of 80 basis points year-over-year, surpassing both internal estimates and consensus expectations. The solid waste segment reported a robust AEBITDA of $1.295 billion, reflecting a significant growth in revenue and margin, bolstered by event-driven volumes that contributed $36 million in sales. Moreover, Republic Services anticipates continued growth with mid-single-digit revenue expansion and a projected increase in EBITDA, EPS, and free cash flow for 2026, driven by a positive outlook on demand stabilization and enhanced operational efficiencies.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Republic Services appears negative due to a significant decline in recycled commodity prices, which averaged -29% year-over-year, impacting revenue and profitability. The company reported a 7% drop in environmental services (ES) revenue and a 26% decrease in EBITDA, attributed to persistent weakness in manufacturing and reduced landfill volumes, coupled with a projected $100 million revenue headwind in 2026 from potential event-driven revenue declines. Additionally, while there was a slight increase in expected free cash flow and EBITDA margins, the overall growth outlook remains cautious, with collection volumes and municipal solid waste (MSW) activity continuing to show weakness.
