Clean Harbors stock (ISIN US1844961078) gained 1.92 percent to USD 318.51 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, after trading between USD 312.71 and USD 319.80. The move leaves the shares 5.2 percent below the 52-week high of USD 335.94, while the company enters the fourth quarter with second-quarter revenue of USD 1.74 billion.

Second-quarter growth lifts the base

According to Stock Titan in its July 29, 2026 filing summary, revenue for Q2 2026 rose 12 percent year over year to USD 1.74 billion. Net income increased 34 percent to USD 170.5 million, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 3.22.

The earnings comparison was also favorable against estimates. MarketBeat reported that Q2 EPS exceeded the USD 2.81 consensus by USD 0.41, while quarterly revenue surpassed the USD 1.64 billion estimate by USD 0.10 billion.

Acquisitions add financing pressure

Clean Harbors is financing expansion while operating results accelerate. The company priced USD 600 million of senior notes carrying a 6.250 percent interest rate and due in 2034, with proceeds intended to support the EnviroServe acquisition and repay borrowings linked to the ES&H acquisition, according to Business Wire on September 17, 2026.

The EnviroServe transaction carries a cash purchase price of USD 470 million. That combination of acquisition spending and new debt gives the recent revenue and earnings growth a second dimension: integration and financing execution will shape how much of the operating improvement reaches shareholders.

Analyst target remains above the price

MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus from 18 analysts on September 18, 2026. The average 12-month target was USD 354.57, with a high target of USD 390.00 and a low target of USD 306.00; the average target lies 11.3 percent above the October 2 price of USD 318.51.

The valuation leaves CLH between a strong recent operating performance and a demanding market assessment. Clean Harbors reported Q2 operating profit of USD 268.9 million, while the share price has risen 36.0 percent from USD 234.66 at the start of 2026, making execution on acquisitions and margin expansion central to the next phase.
