These Analysts Raise Their Forecasts On Clean Harbors After Q4 Results

Clean Harbors, Inc. CLH reported mixed fourth-quarter financial results on Wednesday.

Clean Harbors posted adjusted earnings of $1.82 per share, beating market estimates of $1.69 per share. The company’s quarterly sales came in at $1.34 billion versus expectations of $1.36 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Clean Harbors said it sees first-quarter adjusted EBITDA growth of 2% to 3%.

"Our Environmental Services (ES) segment capped a year of record growth with an outstanding fourth quarter," said Mike Battles, Co-Chief Executive Officer. "Demand for our ES services remained robust, as steady volumes, healthy project flow and continued customer interest in our service offerings drove favorable pricing. Our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS) segment fell short of our expectations in Q4, as market conditions for base oil deteriorated late in the year. From a safety perspective, we concluded 2023 with an excellent fourth-quarter Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), enabling us to far exceed our annual goal and achieve the best safety year in our history."

Clean Harbors shares rose 0.2% to trade at $181.79 on Thursday.
