RSG has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.9%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter top line is pegged at $3.72 billion, indicating 5.5% growth from the year-ago actual. This is likely to have been driven by an improved segmental performance.
Our estimate for the Collection segment’s revenues is pegged at $2.53 billion, indicating a 5.3% rise from the fourth-quarter 2022 reported figure. This is likely to have been driven by benefits from the acquisitions of solid waste companies.
Our estimate for Landfill revenues is pegged at $415.1 million, implying an 8.7% increase from the year-ago reported figure. An expected increase in special waste solid waste, construction and demolition volumes is likely to have driven the rise.

We expect environmental solutions revenues of $413 million, indicating a 1.1% decrease from the year-ago reported figure.

The consensus estimate for earnings per share is pegged at $1.28, up 13.27% from the year-ago actual. The increase can be attributed to proper pricing to earn appropriate returns.
