RSG Frequently Asked Questions
What does Republic Services Inc do?
Republic Services collects trash, runs the trucks that haul it, operates the transfer stations that aggregate it, and owns the landfills where much of it ends up — a vertically integrated model that captures value at multiple points in the waste stream. Revenue is highly predictable: residential and commercial customers pay recurring fees on contracts that typically adjust annually for inflation. The company has invested heavily in recycling infrastructure and renewable natural gas facilities at landfills, turning methane emissions into a revenue-generating energy business that also improves environmental positioning.
Is RSG stock a good investment?
Solid waste is one of the most recession-resistant businesses in the economy — garbage volumes decline marginally in downturns but never collapse. Republic Services benefits from highly localized market power: once it controls the landfill in a region, competitors face enormous barriers to entry because new landfill permits are nearly impossible to obtain. The stock typically carries a quality premium reflecting these characteristics. The main risk for investors at current valuations is whether pricing power and cost discipline can sustain the earnings growth rate that the premium multiple implies.
Who are Republic Services Inc's main competitors?
Waste Management is the dominant player in U.S. solid waste by revenue and landfill ownership, making it Republic's primary national competitor and the benchmark against which Republic is often measured. GFL Environmental has grown aggressively through acquisitions to become a significant competitor in both the U.S. and Canada. Casella Waste Systems and Waste Connections compete regionally, particularly in markets where their landfill positions give them local advantages. Many municipalities also operate their own waste collection services, providing indirect competition for residential contract bids.
Does Republic Services Inc pay dividends?
Republic Services has consistently paid and grown its dividend for over two decades, making it a reliable income compounder in the environmental services sector. The company targets a payout ratio that leaves ample room to reinvest in fleet, infrastructure, and acquisitions while still returning meaningful cash to shareholders. Its annual dividend increases have generally tracked earnings per share growth, and the dividend is supported by the highly predictable, contract-based nature of its cash flows — a stability that few industrial businesses can match.
What is RSG's stock price today?
RSG is currently trading at $215.27, down 0.67% in today's session. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a low of $201.42 and a high of $258.75. The current price represents 24% of its 52-week range, which helps investors gauge where the stock sits relative to its recent trading history.
What do Wall Street analysts say about RSG?

Keep in mind that analyst targets reflect 12-month expectations and can shift quickly after earnings reports or major company events.
Is Republic Services Inc profitable?
Republic Services Inc generated $16.41B in revenue during fiscal year 2026, with $2.12B reaching the bottom line as net income. The net profit margin of 12.9% is solid for its sector.
What is RSG's P/E ratio?

Comparing this multiple against Commercial Services & Supplies sector peers gives better context than the broad market alone, since P/E norms vary significantly across industries.
