Is Republic Services stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Republic Services stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Republic Services's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Republic Services's P/E ratio
Republic Services's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Republic Services shares trade at around 33x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Republic Services's PEG ratio
Republic Services's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.3483. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Republic Services's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Republic Services's EBITDA
Republic Services's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $4.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Republic Services's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Republic Services share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 35.51% of net profits
Recently Republic Services has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Republic Services shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Republic Services's case, that would currently equate to about $2.185 per share.
While Republic Services's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Republic Services may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Republic Services's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Republic Services's shares ever split?
Republic Services's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 18 March 2007 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Republic Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Republic Services shares which in turn could have impacted Republic Services's share price.
Republic Services share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Republic Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as $159.4559 up to $220.58. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Republic Services's is 0.707. This would suggest that Republic Services's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
