Republic Services stock closed at USD 217.99 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, down 0.43% from the prior session, according to NYSE data compiled by MarketBeat. The move came as trading stayed relatively contained within the recent range.
September 18, 2026 in numbers
Republic Services, Inc. (ISIN US76075R1059, NYSE: RSG) saw its shares trade between an intraday low of USD 216.76 and a high of USD 219.32 on September 18, 2026, before settling at USD 217.99 at the close, per NYSE quote data. That closing level left the stock modestly above its year opening price of USD 211.96, implying a gain of about 2.8 percent year to date based on the MarketBeat overview at the latest update on September 20, 2026. Per the same data snapshot, Republic Services carried a price to earnings ratio of 30.88 on that date, compared with an indicated market average around 44.67, which framed the valuation context for the session.
Trading volume for Republic Services on September 18, 2026 was broadly in line with recent averages, reinforcing the impression of a steady session rather than an outsized move. Extended trading after the close showed indications around USD 223.90 in electronic markets as of the evening of September 18, 2026, labeled as extended trading data and not part of the official close in the MarketBeat quote record. In the broader market, major United States equity benchmarks delivered a mixed performance on September 18, 2026, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average fractionally lower and the Nasdaq Composite higher, as summarized in a global market wrap by TTV. Against that backdrop, Republic Services’ slight decline of 0.43% on the day contrasted with the technology-heavy Nasdaq’s gain of 0.39%, underscoring a more subdued tone for the waste management and services segment relative to high growth names.
Dividend calendar and sector cues today
Looking ahead to today’s session on September 21, 2026, investors can still see Republic Services within a dividend-focused calendar for the current quarter. The company’s stock recently went ex-dividend on July 2, 2026 for a payment scheduled on July 15, 2026, and the next regular dividend payment is listed for October 15, 2026, with the associated record and ex-dividend dates on October 2, 2026, according to the company calendar shown by MarketBeat. The same calendar estimates the next quarterly earnings release for Republic Services on October 29, 2026, so no new results are due today ahead of the United States open.
More broadly, market participants are set to weigh ongoing macroeconomic data and index rebalancing effects that influenced United States trading late last week, as highlighted in the September 18, 2026 recap of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq movement by TTV. For Republic Services, those sector and index dynamics provide the market context into today’s trading, while the company’s own dividend timeline and the upcoming late October earnings date shape the fundamental backdrop ahead of the next catalysts.
