Republic Services raises guidance as commodity prices climb

Republic Services (NYSE: RSG) reported strong Q2 results with revenue up 4.6% to $4.43 billion and net income rising to $566 million. The company raised its full-year 2026 financial guidance for the second time, citing strong pricing, disciplined cost management, and higher-than-expected fuel recovery and recycling commodity revenues. Despite a slight decline in recycled commodity prices, increased volumes at its polymer centers and strategic acquisitions contributed to its positive outlook.
