Price vs fair value CLH trades at a PREMIUM of 81.30% to our fair-value estimate and a discount of 9.99% to the analyst 12-month target. - Record Q2 2026 revenue and earnings beats (Zacks, GuruFocus, MarketBeat) - $305M deal and data center strategy announced (Waste Dive) - Forward P/E 35.46 vs trailing 41.16, but PEG 2.21 signals stretched valuation - Valuation percentile 38.5/100 (Sideravia) reflects rich multiples (P/E 41.16, EV/EBITDA 15.95)
Looking forward Analysts see potential upside to $358.93 (discount of 9.99%), driven by growth initiatives and strategic M&A. However, high leverage and elevated multiples temper risk-adjusted expectations. Monitor execution on the $305M deal and data center strategy for margin expansion.
