Company Report

Republic's Operation Efficiency Should Keep Margins Strong; Increasing FVE to $200 From $190

Following right behind industry leader WM, Republic Services dominates landfill ownership. As a fully integrated waste hauler, the company leverages a vast network of collection routes and transfer stations, which bestows significant control over the waste stream and strong internalization rates, funneling waste from commercial, industrial, and residential end markets into its highly valuable landfill assets. Outside the large public waste haulers, which account for roughly half of industry revenue, size falls off quickly, and the market becomes fragmented.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Republic’s traditional solid waste operations should continue to perform well due to solid execution and strong pricing. The average life of Republic’s landfill portfolio is 56 years, which is much higher than its peers.

Bears

The acquisition of US Ecology and future acquisitions could underperform the firm’s expectations, resulting in value destruction. Republic trades at a rich multiple, and its record margins may face downward pressure as pricing normalizes.
