Republic Services Inc. (NYSE: RSG) delivered a mixed fourth-quarter earnings report on Feb. 17. Earnings per share (EPS) of $1.76 were above the forecasted $1.62 and 8% higher year-over-year (YOY). However, the waste management company missed slightly on revenue, with the $4.14 billion generated coming in about 1.6% below the forecasted $4.21 billion. Still, that was about 2.2% higher YOY.
More important was the company’s forward guidance. On that front, Republic Services guided to full-year 2026 revenue between $17.05 billion and $17.15 billion. The midpoint of that range would be a 3% YOY increase.
