Republic Services and Kenvue Post Higher Q3 Revenue and Profit

what happened

Republic Services reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $4.56 billion, up 8.2% from a year earlier. Net income attributable to the company reached $592 million, and diluted earnings per share came in at $1.93, compared with $1.76 in the prior-year period.

For the first nine months, revenue rose 5.2% to $13.1 billion, helped by higher prices, fuel recovery fees and acquisitions, while lower volumes limited growth. Kenvue posted third-quarter net sales of $3.89 billion, a 3.2% increase, along with net income of $430 million and diluted EPS of $0.22. These figures come from TradingView's summaries of the companies' 10-Q filings with the SEC.

why it matters

Two details matter for investors. Republic Services expects 2026 revenue in a band of $17.425 billion to $17.475 billion and plans to put at least $1.2 billion into acquisitions. Kenvue's organic sales grew 2.9% in the quarter, Self Care sales rose 5.9%, and the company agreed to sell feminine-care businesses in some countries as part of its pending merger with K-C.
