Republic Services posts Q3 2026 earnings, raises full‑year guidance and authorizes $5 billion buyback

Republic Services reported third‑quarter 2026 net income of $592 million, EPS of $1.93 and adjusted EPS of $1.94. Revenue grew 8.2% year‑over‑year, driven by pricing and acquisitions. The board approved a $5 billion share‑repurchase program and lifted full‑year revenue guidance to $17.425‑$17.475 billion, with adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $5.55‑$5.575 billion.

The higher guidance and large buyback increase expected cash returns to shareholders, potentially supporting the stock price. The dividend of $0.670 per share also adds to shareholder yield.

  • Q3 revenue reported as $4.56 billion in several sources versus $4.2 billion in one source.
