**Recent Updates on CLH stock**

Clean Harbors’ shares saw bullish sentiment as multiple firms lifted price targets after the company delivered solid Q4 results, with revenue and EBITDA exceeding consensus and its Environmental Services segment showing continued strength. Analysts also pointed to in-line but seemingly conservative 2026 guidance and the restart of M&A, highlighted by a $130M deal to acquire Depot Connect’s Industrial and Rail Services business, as reasons for improved long-term growth expectations.

**Spark’s Take on CLH Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CLH is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial fundamentals (scale, stable gross margins, and a notably improved balance sheet as reported) and supportive technical momentum (above key moving averages, positive MACD). These positives are tempered by premium valuation (P/E ~38) and some recent cash-flow conversion/FCF volatility, while the earnings call adds a modest positive due to steady 2026 growth guidance and strong capital returns despite near-term segment and macro headwinds.
