Published on 10/06/2026 at 17:47 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Republic Services stock (ISIN US7607591002) was trading at USD 215.25 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 11:46 a.m. ET, up 1.14 percent from the prior close. The next company checkpoint is October 29, 2026, when Republic Services will release third-quarter results after market close, according to Republic Services.
October 29 sets the next test
The scheduled third-quarter report follows a second quarter in which revenue reached USD 4.43 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026. According to Trivano, the company reported GAAP diluted EPS of USD 1.84 and adjusted EPS of USD 1.85 on August 6, 2026.
The adjusted figure increased 4.5 percent from USD 1.77 in the second quarter of 2025, while total revenue grew 4.6 percent year over year. Pricing supported the result, but volume reduced related-business revenue by 1.9 percent in Q2, giving the October report a clear operating question.
Guidance rests on pricing power
Republic Services raised its full-year 2026 guidance to revenue of USD 17.2 billion-17.3 billion, adjusted EBITDA of USD 5.525 billion-5.550 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of USD 7.23-7.28. The company also set adjusted free cash flow guidance at USD 2.540 billion-2.575 billion, according to Trivano.
That outlook places the balance between price increases and physical waste volumes at the center of the investment case. In Q2, core price on total revenue added 5.3 percent, while volume reduced revenue by 1.6 percent, and adjusted EBITDA margin held at 32.1 percent.
Analysts see upside to USD 245.26
The analyst picture remains constructive but valuation-sensitive. MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from 22 brokerages on September 22, 2026, with 12 Buy ratings and 10 Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target of USD 245.26 lies 13.9 percent above the October 6 trading price.
Broker actions show a narrower range of conviction. UBS lifted its target from USD 233.00 to USD 235.00 while retaining Neutral on August 11, 2026, and Barclays raised its target from USD 233.00 to USD 240.00 with an Equal Weight rating on August 7, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
Stock trades below yearly high
At USD 215.25 on October 6, 2026, Republic Services stock remained within its USD 196.41 to USD 233.42 52-week range, while its market capitalization stood at USD 66.2 billion. The share price was 7.8 percent below the 52-week high, leaving the October earnings release as the next dated test of whether pricing can continue to offset volume pressure.
