Phoenix, Arizona-based Republic Services, Inc. (RSG) offers environmental services in the United States and Canada. With a market cap of $73.1 billion, Republic Services operates as the second-largest provider of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, disposal, recycling, and energy services in the United States.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” RSG fits this bill perfectly. Given the company’s extensive operations and dominance in the waste management industry, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
