Research dated 2026-09-12: Clean Harbors manages difficult waste streams from collection through treatment and disposal, while Safety-Kleen adds used-oil collection, shop services, cleaning equipment and lubricant products. Recent profit acceleration strengthens the operating story, but its durability depends on whether cash generation can support a heavier capital program without deepening the debt burden.

What is Clean Harbors (CLH), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
The waste-management label is too narrow: Clean Harbors works inside customer facilities, responds to field emergencies, packages sensitive laboratory chemicals, transports waste and processes it through reclamation, blending, incineration, wastewater treatment or secure landfilling.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The waste-management label is too narrow: Clean Harbors works inside customer facilities, responds to field emergencies, packages sensitive laboratory chemicals, transports waste and processes it through reclamation, blending, incineration, wastewater treatment or secure landfilling. Safety-Kleen extends the model into parts washers, automotive and industrial cleaning products, vacuum services, used-oil collection and lubricant manufacturing.
Reported revenue therefore combines technical services, field and emergency response, industrial work, environmental services and oil-related activity. Consolidated growth can reflect a shifting mixture of service demand, waste volumes, processing activity and manufactured products rather than a uniform change in conventional hauling.
What do the latest results show for Clean Harbors (CLH)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $1.74B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest period produced a sharp revenue increase from the preceding period and the comparable prior period. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings also advanced, while revenue and earnings surpassed expectations.
Gross profit remained below the comparable prior period despite higher sales, so the latest earnings improvement did not come from uniform expansion across the income statement. Management separately raised planned capital spending alongside a stronger adjusted EBITDA outlook, citing acquisition effects and designated investment initiatives.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Clean Harbors (CLH)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $516.72M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was −$25.90M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations used cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Cash generation is uneven. Operating cash flow has moved from strong inflows to near breakeven and then an outflow, while capital expenditure has remained substantial; cash has consequently retreated from its recent peak.
Debt materially exceeds cash, leaving the business exposed if operating cash weakness persists while planned investment rises. Liquidity ratios and the available distress and quality screens remain supportive, but they do not remove the funding pressure created by sustained cash outflows or a widening gap between debt and cash.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

What should you watch next at Clean Harbors (CLH)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 4, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Watch whether revenue holds near its recent pace and whether gross profit begins to participate more fully in that strength. Consensus expectations imply little room for a sharp retreat in sales or diluted earnings, making conversion from revenue into profit especially informative.
Cash flow deserves equal attention: a return to operating inflow would make the enlarged capital program easier to absorb, while another outflow alongside falling cash would increase reliance on the balance sheet. Management has also set expectations for selling and administrative expense relative to revenue, providing a direct test of overhead discipline.
What management is planning
Management expectations, not completed milestones or guarantees. Selected verbatim excerpts; dates follow the transcript provider.
For the full year, we continue to expect SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue to be in the mid- to high 12% range.
Eric Dugas ·
For 2026, excluding expected $85 million of spend on the SDA unit, $25 million related to our fleet investment and $10 million related to our data center strategy that Eric highlighted, we now expect net CapEx to be in the range of $370 million to $430 million, with a midpoint of $400 million.
Eric Dugas ·
This represents a $30 million increase versus our prior guidance, reflecting the higher adjusted EBITDA we now anticipate this year and considering acquisition impacts, in the revised CapEx assumptions.
Eric Dugas ·
To begin, when we look at our estimated revenue this year, we're going to be in that $15 million to $20 million range.

How does Clean Harbors compare with its peers?
Short answer
Clean Harbors's score ranks 2nd of 4 in the bounded comparison shown, against 3 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
A conventional waste hauler primarily moves collected material; Clean Harbors also identifies, packages, treats, reclaims, blends, incinerates and securely disposes hazardous material, while placing specialized crews and equipment at industrial sites. Safety-Kleen adds shop-facing equipment, waste-fluid collection and lubricant manufacturing, giving the company exposure to industrial service activity and oil-related products alongside disposal infrastructure.
That breadth changes the comparison. Revenue depends on the mix among technical services, emergency response, industrial work, environmental services and oil activity, so consolidated growth and margins can move differently even when overall demand is rising.

What Investors Ask About Clean Harbors (CLH) — Industrials
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 2 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does CleanPack add to Clean Harbors’ waste business?
CleanPack handles the identification, classification, custom packaging, transport and disposal of sensitive laboratory chemicals and household hazardous waste. It places Clean Harbors inside a compliance-heavy part of the customer workflow rather than limiting the relationship to pickup.
Why is Safety-Kleen more than a used-oil collection operation?
Safety-Kleen also supplies parts washers and cleaning products, performs vacuum and containerized-waste services, and manufactures and distributes lubricants. Its revenue therefore spans services, collected waste streams and formulated products.
Why can Clean Harbors sales rise while gross profit weakens?
The latest comparable periods show higher revenue but lower gross profit, even as operating income improved. That split makes gross-profit recovery a key check on the durability of the latest earnings step-up.
What should investors watch in Clean Harbors’ fleet and data-center spending?
Management identified fleet and data-center initiatives within its capital plan and raised expected spending alongside a stronger adjusted EBITDA outlook. With operating cash flow recently negative and cash below its recent peak, execution now depends on converting stronger earnings into funding capacity.
