The London Company Large Cap Strategy made the following comment about Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:
"Initiated: Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) - RSG is the 2nd largest waste management company in North America. It generates consistent, predictable cash flows with over 80% of its revenues being annuity-like. RSG holds almost 25% of the landfill capacity in the U.S. Industry consolidation and the limited availability of landfills, on top of high transportation costs, have created local duopolies for landfill owners in their respective markets and increased returns. We're attracted to RSG's leading position in a stable business with a high degree of recurring revenue, and we believe the company is at an inflection point with its pricing strategy and landfill asset utilization. RSG has a solid balance sheet along with an experienced and shareholder friendly management team."
