Republic Services stock closed at USD 222.47 on the NYSE on September 9, 2026, up 0.4 percent from the previous session.

The session unfolded against a backdrop of ongoing insider purchases that continued to attract attention ahead of today.
September 9, 2026 in numbers
Republic Services Inc. (ISIN US76075R1059, NYSE: RSG) ended the September 9, 2026 session at USD 222.47, after adding 0.93 USD or 0.42% compared with the prior close, according to quote data published by Yahoo Finance for the NYSE listing. The same data show that the stock traded between a day low of USD 220.61 and a day high of USD 223.18, placing the close toward the upper end of the intraday range and within its current 52-week band. Trading volume on the day was close to its recent average, indicating steady investor interest without an exceptional spike in activity.
In the wider market context, the S&P 500 benchmark index also posted a modest move on September 9, 2026, allowing a direct comparison between Republic Services and the broader US equities backdrop. Based on recent analysis from Simply Wall St, Republic Services was priced at around USD 222.47 against a widely followed fair value estimate of about USD 243.58, framing the stock roughly 8.7 percent below that valuation marker at the close. This valuation gap, alongside a consensus target price near USD 245 cited by MarketBeat, underlines that the stock is currently trading at a discount to the average analyst view.
A prominent narrative around the stock in recent sessions has been sustained insider buying by Cascade Investment, the investment vehicle associated with Bill Gates. As MarketBeat reported on September 10, 2026, Cascade Investment disclosed additional purchases of Republic Services shares in recent days, building its position through multiple Form 4 filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A separate analysis from GuruFocus highlighted a single transaction on September 9, 2026 in which Cascade acquired 720,804 shares at about USD 221.41 per share, a deal worth roughly USD 159.6 million. These substantial purchases by a major shareholder have been a key fundamental backdrop for the stock, reinforcing confidence in the company’s longer term prospects.
Today’s factors for Republic Services
For today, September 11, 2026, no new company specific earnings release or annual meeting is scheduled for Republic Services within the immediate window, and the next quarterly results date is not highlighted in the latest public calendars for this week. However, the continued visibility of Cascade Investment’s insider buying and the existing fiscal 2026 earnings guidance of USD 7.23 to USD 7.28 per share, reiterated in recent coverage by MarketBeat, remain central reference points for investors heading into the US open. Broader market conditions, including the latest movements in the S&P 500 and US economic data releases this week, are likely to shape sentiment toward defensive, cash flow focused names such as Republic Services today, alongside the established narrative of insider confidence and valuation relative to analyst targets.
