ABM Industries Incorporated ABM reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2026 results. Earnings per share (EPS) missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues beat the same. Despite the lower-than-expected earnings results, the stock rallied 10.9% following the earnings release on June 5. ABM posted adjusted earnings of 90 cents per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up 4.7% from the year-ago period but missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 92 cents by 2.2%. Quarterly revenues rose 8.4% year over year to $2.29 billion and beat the consensus mark of $2.22 billion by 2.9%. Performance was supported by record first-half sales bookings, with strength led by Technical Solutions and Aviation. ABM Industries Incorporated price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | ABM Industries Incorporated Quote ABM Industries delivered organic revenue growth of 6.1% in the quarter, with acquisitions adding 2.3% to reported growth. Management pointed to healthy demand across several end markets, including energy infrastructure, semiconductors and airport modernization, alongside steady recurring work that supports the company’s baseline revenue profile. Business & Industry was flat organically, pressured by the exit of a large U.K. client during the quarter and additional customer exits, particularly on the West Coast. Management framed some of the exits as intentional, citing a focus on walking away from accounts that do not meet profitability thresholds. By segment, Technical Solutions revenues climbed 27.2% year over year to $267.3 million, supported by data center activity, battery energy storage systems and contributions from recent acquisitions. Aviation revenues increased 19.5% to $310.8 million, reflecting healthy travel demand and the increase in the latest wins, including the London Heathrow contract. Manufacturing & Distribution revenues rose 16.5% to $463.8 million, aided by client expansions and the WGNSTAR acquisition, while Education revenues improved 1.9% to $232.2 million on price escalations. Business & Industry revenues were essentially unchanged at $1.02 billion, as strength in U.K. operations was largely offset by client exits. ABM Sees Mixed Profitability as Mix Shifts Adjusted EBITDA improved to $131.7 million from $125.9 million a year ago, reflecting higher volume and improved execution in parts of the business.

Republic Services delivered first quarter results that met Wall Street’s revenue expectations and modestly exceeded analyst profit forecasts. Management attributed the performance to disciplined pricing, effective cost management, and continued investment in digital and sustainability initiatives. CEO Jon Vander Ark emphasized the company’s “disciplined pricing execution” and highlighted the positive impact of ongoing technology and AI investments, which helped offset challenges such as flat sales volumes and higher fuel costs. Volume performance was suppressed by severe weather and contract losses in residential, but the company saw improvement in landfill and large container segments. Is now the time to buy RSG? Find out in our full research report (it’s free). Revenue: $4.11 billion vs analyst estimates of $4.10 billion (2.6% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $1.70 vs analyst estimates of $1.64 (3.8% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $1.32 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.30 billion (32.1% margin, 1.6% beat) Operating Margin: 20.2%, in line with the same quarter last year Sales Volumes were flat year on year (1.2% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $62.66 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Noah Kaye (Oppenheimer) asked about the timing and size of AI and digital productivity benefits. CEO Jon Vander Ark explained that pricing gains will be realized first, with larger benefits from the RISE platform coming in subsequent years. Bryan Burgmeier (Citi) inquired about second quarter margin trends amid fuel and weather headwinds. CFO Brian Delghiaccio said margins will likely be flat to slightly down year-over-year due to project-related landfill volumes, but underlying business margins are expected to expand. Adam Bubes (Goldman Sachs) questioned underlying volume momentum and the impact of weather. Vander Ark noted "some green shoots" in demand, particularly in special waste, but cautioned that macro uncertainty remains a risk. Jerry Revich (Wells Fargo) asked about the financial impact and deployment of electric vehicles in the fleet. Vander Ark indicated strong early results...

Clean Harbors, Inc. CLH reported mixed first-quarter 2026 results. Earnings per share (EPS) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues missed the same. The earnings beat failed to impress the market, as the stock has dipped 6.9% since the release of results on May 6. CLH posted first-quarter of 2026 earnings of $1.19 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15 by 3.5%. Revenues came in at $1.46 billion, missing the consensus mark of $1.47 billion by 0.4%. Earnings grew 9.2% year over year, while revenues increased 1.9%. Management highlighted stronger profitability in both operating segments, supported by disciplined pricing and a late-quarter lift in base oil pricing, alongside a record-low Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.39. Clean Harbors, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Clean Harbors, Inc. Quote Clean Harbors described the quarter as better than expected, with higher profitability across both operating segments despite weather-related disruptions that weighed on parts of the collection and services business in February. Management also pointed to continued momentum exiting the quarter, framing the operating backdrop as supportive for its disposal and recycling network, with added tailwinds from project services and PFAS-related opportunities. Environmental Services generated first-quarter revenues of $1.24 billion, up 2.9% from the year-ago quarter. The company attributed growth to project services, including PFAS-related work and emergency response activity, while citing healthy demand for disposal and recycling services. Operationally, the company reported Technical Services revenue growth of 5% and Safety-Kleen Environmental Services revenue growth of 7%, aided by pricing and higher volumes. Incineration utilization, including the Kimball incinerator, was 80% versus 81% a year ago, reflecting planned maintenance days and weather impacts. Landfill volumes increased 34% and Field Services revenues rose 7%, including a large-scale emergency event that generated approximately $10 million in revenues. Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions posted revenues of $217.1 million, down 3.4% year over year, as lower market pricing for base and blended products outweighed other benefits. Management said that the revenue decline was expected, and noted that base oil prices strengthened late in the quarter. Even with the softer...

Republic Services (RSG) reported Thursday Q1 adjusted earnings of $1.70 per diluted share, up from $

Republic Services (RSG) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.7 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.64 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.58 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.54%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this waste management company would post earnings of $1.62 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.76, delivering a surprise of +8.64%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Republic Services, which belongs to the Zacks Waste Removal Services industry, posted revenues of $4.11 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.40%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.01 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Republic Services shares have lost about 5.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.6%. While Republic Services has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Republic Services was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete li...
