Insiders are buying REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC. (NYSE: RSG). Over the trailing 180 day window ending November 2nd, 2026, open market purchase filings outweighed sales by a wide margin, and the dollar gap is not close. The direction of the ledger is net buying.

The count: 104 buy filings from 2 distinct buyers, against 4 sell filings from 3 distinct sellers. The buy side totals $1.56 billion. The sell side totals $1,287,781. That leaves net buying of $1,554,893,469 for the window.

Only Form 4 codes P and S are counted here. Awards, tax withholding and option exercises are excluded, so the figures above describe decisions to put cash in or take cash out at market, not compensation mechanics.

The largest buyer was CASCADE INVESTMENT, L.L.C., filing in the role of Other, with $1,482,160,087 in purchases. The firm is an entity rather than an officer or director, and it accounts for the overwhelming majority of the buy side total on its own. The remaining purchase activity came from one other buyer across the same window.

The largest seller was Bales Brian A, also filing in the role of Other, with $829,600 in sales. Two other sellers made up the balance of the $1,287,781 sold. In a window this lopsided, the sell side is a rounding item rather than a counterweight.

Shares last traded at $246.85. Republic Services carries a market capitalization of $75,200,299,008, which places the 180 day purchase total in context: the buying is large in absolute dollars but modest set against the full equity value of a company in the Refuse Systems business. Readers who want the path the stock took through the window should look at the price history directly, because filing data records transaction dollars rather than market performance.

It is worth being clear about what this ledger does not say. A Form 4 records a transaction, not a reason. Grants, restricted stock vesting, shares withheld to cover taxes and option exercises are not decisions to buy or sell on the open market, and none of them are included in the totals above. A sale can be the automatic output of a scheduled 10b5-1 plan set up months earlier, which means a small sale print carries far less signal than its dollar value suggests.

Equally, a single large institutional buyer filing under the role of Other is not the same thing as broad participation by officers and directors. Two distinct buyers over 180 days is a narrow base, even when the dollars are very large. The useful read is the direction and the concentration together: the direction is net buying, and the concentration sits with one entity.

Figures in this article come from SEC Form 4 filings submitted through EDGAR and reviewed by InsiderBuying.com, covering the 180 day window ending November 2nd, 2026. Only open market purchases (code P) and sales (code S) are included.
