Three milestones frame the stock

On August 6, 2026, the company reported USD 4.43 billion in second-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.85. On September 29, 2026, Republic Services scheduled its third-quarter results for October 29 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. On October 15, 2026, it broke ground on one new recycling center serving the greater St. Louis region, according to the company's Republic Services release.

When are the next dates?

The next scheduled company event is the third-quarter 2026 earnings release on October 29, 2026, after the market closes. The related conference call is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the replay available through November 5, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

Scale supports the investment case

Republic Services says its network includes 74 recycling centers, processes 5 million tons through those centers and operates 73 renewable energy projects. Those figures provide operating scale, while the target cuts show that analysts are testing whether pricing can offset labor, fuel and transportation costs.
