MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Republic Services
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Republic Services, Inc.:

  • Republic Services, Inc. recently received a significant upgrade from JPMorgan Chase & Co., which moved its rating from neutral to overweight and raised its price target to $295.00, suggesting a potential upside of approximately 18.4% from the current stock price of $249.15.
  • The company demonstrated strong financial performance in its most recent quarter, reporting earnings per share of $1.94 which exceeded the consensus estimate of $1.93, while revenue of $4.56 billion surpassed expectations and grew 8.2% year-over-year.
  • Republic Services, Inc. has achieved a new 52-week high, with the stock reaching a peak of $254.39, indicating strong market momentum and investor confidence in the company's trajectory.
  • Major shareholder Cascade Investment, L.L.C. has been actively accumulating shares, purchasing over 400,000 shares in September 2026 alone, which signals significant insider confidence in the long-term value of the business.
  • The stock offers a dividend yield of 1.09%, providing a steady income stream for investors, supported by the company's stable operations in the essential waste collection and recycling sector.

Republic Services
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Republic Services, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The current price-to-earnings ratio of 34.46 is relatively high, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings potential, which could limit future upside if growth slows.
  • Short interest in the stock has increased, with shares shorted rising to 4,419,389 in the most recent reporting period, indicating that some market participants are betting against the stock's price appreciation.
  • Several institutional investors, including M&G PLC and AEGON Asset Management UK Plc, have reduced their stakes in Republic Services, Inc. during the third quarter, which may reflect a lack of confidence in the company's near-term outlook.
  • Despite the recent upgrade, the consensus price target from Wall Street analysts is $249.32, which is nearly identical to the current stock price of $249.15, suggesting that the stock may be fairly valued with limited room for further gains.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.14 indicates a moderate level of leverage, which could become a burden if interest rates remain high or if the company faces unexpected operational challenges.
