Stericycle Analysts Increase Their Forecasts After Q4 Results

Stericycle, Inc. SRCL reported mixed fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday.

Stericycle posted adjusted earnings of 54 cents per share, beating market estimates of 47 cents per share. The company’s quarterly sales came in at $652.00 million, missing expectations of $657.93 million, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

“Throughout 2023, we made strong progress executing across all of our key business priorities, most notably the ERP deployment for our U.S. Regulated Waste and Compliance Services business and portfolio optimization, as we completed eight divestitures in the year. 2023 organic revenue and Adjusted EPS(3) performance came in line with our expectations. We continued to drive efficiency improvements in cost of revenues that helped mitigate headwinds of approximately $50 million in commodity indexed revenues in 2023,” said Cindy J. Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer.
