Summary · why it matters

Clean Harbors shares have risen 24.4% over the past year, outperforming its industry's 7.3% decline. The Zacks Consensus Estimate projects 2026 revenues of 6.3 billion dollars, up 4.2% year-over-year, with earnings per share expected to reach 8.5 dollars in 2026 and 9.4 dollars in 2027. Growth is supported by a 25 to 35% acceleration in PFAS management, AI-driven operational efficiencies that have helped margins rise for 16 straight quarters, and a strong liquidity position with 669 million dollars in cash against 13 million dollars in current debt. The company also repurchased 250 million dollars in shares in 2025, though it faces risks from rising operational costs, lack of a dividend, and intense competition. Clean Harbors currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3, or Hold.
