Republic Services, Inc. (US76075R1059) traded at USD 214.56 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, up 0.29 percent at 11:52 a.m. Eastern Time. The waste services provider's latest reported quarter delivered USD 1.85 in earnings per share and USD 4.43 billion in revenue, giving the stock a market and earnings reference point at the same time.

Quarterly revenue beats estimates

According to MarketBeat on September 23, 2026, Republic Services reported USD 1.85 EPS for the quarter released on August 6, 2026, exceeding the USD 1.81 consensus by USD 0.04. Revenue reached USD 4.43 billion, compared with the USD 4.36 billion estimate, while revenue increased 4.6 percent year over year.

The earnings comparison also improved against the prior-year quarter: EPS was USD 1.85 versus USD 1.77 previously, a gain of USD 0.08 per share. That combination of a revenue beat and higher EPS gives the current valuation a more concrete operating reference than the share price alone.

Guidance remains tightly defined

MarketBeat reported on September 23, 2026, that Republic Services set fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 7.23 to USD 7.28, while the cited analyst consensus was USD 7.27. The midpoint of the guidance range is USD 7.255, only USD 0.015 below that consensus figure.

The market data show why that narrow outlook matters. Republic Services had a market capitalization of USD 65.70 billion on September 23, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 196.41 to USD 233.42 and volume of 301,646 shares at the cited intraday snapshot. The current price was USD 18.86 below the 52-week high and USD 18.15 above the low.

Analyst target stays above price

Yahoo Finance displayed a one-year average analyst target of USD 245.92 on September 22, 2026, against a quoted share price of USD 213.93, with individual targets ranging from USD 208.00 to USD 272.00. The average target was USD 31.99 above that reference price, but the range also shows that analyst views remain dispersed.

A separate MarketBeat consensus snapshot on September 23, 2026, showed a Moderate Buy rating and an average target of USD 245.26. The difference between the two average targets, USD 0.66, is small compared with the USD 37.26 spread between the cited low and high targets, making target dispersion a more important context point than the average alone.
