Republic Services Set to Report Q2 Earnings Amid Mixed Segment Expectations
Republic Services is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2026 results on August 6 after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues stands at $4.4 billion, implying a 3% increase from the year-ago quarter, while earnings per share are pegged at $1.81, up 2.3%. The collection segment, which accounts for the majority of revenues, is expected to reach nearly $3 billion, a 5.8% rise, driven by higher small container core pricing and volume gains in large container and residential. Landfill revenues are forecast at $911.2 million and transfer revenues at $511.1 million, both up 6.7%, but the environmental solutions segment is projected to decline 4.4% to $456.8 million.
