Republic Services continues to price ahead of cost inflation. In the quarter, core price on total revenue increased 5.9%, while revenue growth from average yield on total revenue was 4.0% as volume decreased total revenue by 0.3%. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities was $3.32 billion, while adjusted free cash flow came in at $2.19 billion. Year-to-date cash returned to shareholders was $1.13 billion, which included $584 of share buybacks and $544 million of dividends paid. Republic ended the quarter with $13.3 billion in total debt and $84 million in cash and cash equivalents. We like Republic Services’ pricing power, and the garbage hauler remains a core holding in the newsletter portfolios.

Albemarle’s third quarter cash from operations of $356 million increased 57% relative to last year’s mark, while on a year-to-date basis, the metric was up 29%, to $894 million, due in part to cost and productivity improvements, cash management actions, and a customer prepayment received in January. Full-year 2025 capital expenditures are targeted at about $600 million, and the firm reiterated it view that it expects to achieve positive free cash flow of $300-$400 million for the full year 2025. Management expects full-year results to be towards the higher end of the previously published $9/kg scenario ranges, or net sales of $5.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1 billion. We think Albemarle is getting back on track, and the company remains an idea in the ESG Newsletter portfolio.
