Republic Services Inc (RSG) is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this moment. While the company has a stable business model and positive developments such as the addition of Ian Craig to the board, the financial performance shows slowing growth, and insider selling activity is significant. Additionally, Congress trading data indicates caution, and analysts have been lowering price targets. The technical indicators are neutral, and there are no strong proprietary trading signals to suggest immediate action. Holding the stock or waiting for a more favorable entry point is recommended.
The MACD is positive but contracting, RSI is neutral at 52.918, and moving averages are converging, indicating no clear trend. The stock is trading near its pivot level of 219.691, with resistance at 226.059 and support at 213.323. Overall, the technical indicators suggest a neutral trend.
The appointment of Ian Craig to the board brings expertise in sustainability, digital transformation, and M&A, aligning with Republic Services' strategic goals. Additionally, the company has a strong market position in the waste management industry.
Insider selling has increased significantly (2785.37% over the last month), and Congress members have only sold the stock in recent trades. Analysts have been lowering price targets, reflecting cautious sentiment. Financial performance shows declining net income, EPS, and gross margin in the latest quarter.
In Q3 2025, revenue increased by 3.33% YoY to $4.21 billion, but net income dropped by 2.78% YoY to $550 million. EPS decreased by 2.22% YoY to 1.76, and gross margin declined by 3.01% YoY to 30.63%. This indicates slowing growth and margin pressure.
Analysts have been lowering price targets recently, with the latest targets ranging from $220 to $255. Ratings vary from Buy to Market Perform, with no strong consensus. Analysts note challenges in cost inflation and moderating core prices but acknowledge the company's strong market position.
