Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: RSG is currently trading at $215.22, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $211.72 to $220.75. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 26.7) is in line with its historical norms (27.5). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.0% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 5.1% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, RSG is showing sideways momentum. The price is approaching resistance at $219.28. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: RSG scores 75/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $246.58 (+14.6%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
