Republic Services (US7607591002) stock was trading at EUR 194.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:34 p.m. CEST, up 1.77 percent versus the prior close of EUR 190.73. The stock sat 7.04 percent below its 52-week high of USD 233.42 in the same October 7 market snapshot.
Pricing drives second-quarter growth
Republic Services reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 4.43 billion, up 4.6 percent from the comparable period, according to Trivano in its August 6, 2026 results report. Reported earnings per share rose to USD 1.84 from USD 1.75, while adjusted earnings per share increased to USD 1.85 from USD 1.77.
The revenue mix explains the operating signal. Core price added 5.3 percent to total revenue in the second quarter, while volume reduced revenue by 1.6 percent, according to Trivano. Adjusted EBITDA reached USD 1.42 billion at a 32.1 percent margin, unchanged from the prior-year quarter.
Guidance points to cash generation
Management raised its full-year 2026 outlook to revenue of USD 17.20 billion to USD 17.30 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of USD 7.23 to USD 7.28, according to Trivano. Adjusted free cash flow guidance stands at USD 2.54 billion to USD 2.575 billion for fiscal year 2026.
Through the first half of 2026, operating cash flow was USD 2.38 billion and adjusted free cash flow was USD 1.58 billion. The figures give Republic room to fund acquisitions and shareholder returns, but the 1.6 percent volume drag shows why future growth depends on pricing and cost control.
Analysts keep a measured stance
MarketBeat reported on September 15, 2026 that Wolfe Research reiterated its Peer Perform rating. The same report cited an average analyst target of USD 245.26 and a Moderate Buy consensus, while UBS raised its target from USD 233.00 to USD 235.00 on August 11, 2026.
The next scheduled reporting milestone is October 29, 2026, when Republic Services plans to release third-quarter 2026 results after the market close, according to Republic Services in its September 29, 2026 release listing.
