Republic Services stock (ISIN US76075R1059) is in focus after major shareholder Cascade Investment LLC disclosed the purchase of 580,810 shares worth USD 129.3 million on September 14, 2026, signaling renewed confidence in the waste-management group.
Insider buying stands out
According to Benzinga on September 15, 2026, Cascade Investment LLC, a 10 percent owner of Republic Services, bought 580,810 shares in the company with a total transaction value of USD 129,305,616, as reported in a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
As Benzinga reported on September 15, 2026, Republic Services shares were trading at around USD 225.85 on the New York Stock Exchange, down 0.38 percent on that trading day, indicating a modest short-term pullback despite the sizable insider purchase.
Valuation and recent performance context
In a recent overview, GuruFocus on September 15, 2026 noted that Republic Services shares at a price of USD 225.85 were approximately 0.7 percent above their GF Value estimate of USD 224.24, pointing to a slightly overvalued status on that metric.
The same analysis by GuruFocus highlighted a GF Score of 78 out of 100 for Republic Services, reflecting a solid overall profile in profitability, growth and financial strength, and noted cumulative insider buying of about USD 1.38 billion over the last three months with no corresponding insider selling, reinforcing the signal from the latest Cascade Investment transaction.
Stock level relative to valuation
The relationship between the current share price and the GF Value estimate is a central comparison for investors: at USD 225.85 versus a fair value indication of USD 224.24, Republic Services trades just USD 1.61 above that model-based estimate, or about 0.7 percent, suggesting the stock is close to what valuation models see as its intrinsic worth according to GuruFocus.
For Republic Services, the combination of a modest premium to GF Value and strong insider accumulation underpins a narrative of a mature, cash-generative business that is priced slightly above conservative valuation models yet continues to attract large, long-term shareholders, as reflected in the recent Form 4 filing covered by Benzinga.
Stock price snapshot
Based on the latest available quote context from mid-September 2026, Republic Services stock recently changed hands at around USD 225.85 on the New York Stock Exchange, with that level representing a slight decline of 0.38 percent on the referenced trading day and standing close to valuation benchmarks used by research platforms.
